Breakout risers on Street Bob
My wife had trouble being only 5' tall with her reach to the bars. I used the reach handlebars with the breakout risers and upper clamp (yes, it's chrome) and with both mods, she's far more comfortable. I added adjustable clutch and brake levers which also helped a lot and a set of turn signal buttons that are extended. Her ride is a 2019 Street Bob.

I took an all day, 400 mile ride through the high desert and prairie grasslands then back into the mountainous areas again. Went to a few places I had never been before and saw some cool historical sites along the way. Got some pretty cool pictures as well.
Here are some pics of the high plains of NM. We have had a wetter year than recent past so the grass is super green this year.
The Canadian River that feeds the Ute and Conchas reservoirs in Eastern and South Eastern NM.
Here are some pretty cool informational signs I passed along the ride.
Ran through a pretty major hail storm and had to ride about 2 miles in it before finding shelter for me and the bike. Gotta say those little ice ***** really sting at 60 mph!
After waiting out the rest of the storm, I headed into the mountains again. Here are some cool pics of the area. Also sat at this old abandoned building for a rest before heading back home.
Last stop was to check out an old mill in the Village of La Cueva, NM. The sign gives some historical information about the mill. Sorry some of it is blocked by a tree limb but you can get the gist of it if you zoom in. Apparently they milled flower and produced electricity for quite a while.
Just thought I would share some of the sites of the ride. Overall it was a great ride. I really need a new, more comfortable saddle though that's for sure.

Seems a lot of people go with the saddleman seats. They look pretty cool but I wonder about long ride comfort.
