Added a Le Pera Daddy Long Legs Tailwhip to the bike. It sticks out further, but I have long legs, so it's not an issue for me.
The Pros are it's comfortable, and gives me a ton of leg room. The bad is that now, I am anxiously awaiting the risers I have on order for it. It;s a lot more reach to the stock bars. Still way better than the Saddlemen I had on it, at least as far as reach is concerned.
Also, the color. Nobody really makes anything in brown. I scoured the net looking for stuff to match the saddlemen seat. I just couldn't find anything that looked as good. The saddlemen was also no issues with the stock bars, but, I really want my risers now more than ever. Not going too high, I had 16s on my last bike, and it was cool, but on longer rides you really felt it in the hands. Short trunk and long legs does me that way. So I opted for the bung king 10 inch risers, no pullback. Might end up changing the bars further down the road.
Bike has 800 miles on it today, exactly. Hoping that my risers come in next week, so they can knock that and the 1K out at the same time.
Had the Viking swing arm bag from the last bike. Got the Viking Pad for the Iron Born Sissy bar, since it has a fold out cargo rack, and there's a very limited fit for pads for it. Also only available in black, as was the LePera. Not complaining, as after seeing it on there, I am inclined to think I like the Black and White version a little better.
Anyways, had it out for a test ride after install, and loved it. The rain that showed up, not so much. Ride good.
