Agreed. I love mine. I picked up a heel shifter kit today, along with some turn signal extension caps and black seat ***** to get rid of the factory matte aluminum ones. Got some Harley mustache engine guards with some Kuryakyn Longhorn highway pegs on, hoo boy it's comfy on the highway. Still waiting for my bar and exhaust jobs, cause they are gonna be big. I plan on doing the Stage II S&S 475G cam at the same time as the Mini Grenades exhaust. Then Harley Fused bars.
You do the bars yourself?

Why bleed the brakes? You only had to replace the top brake line, right? But I'm getting the tall Fused bars, not the Lo. I think they are a 14 or a 16. I like the Fat Chizeled bars slightly more, but they taper down to a 1" grip at the risers for some odd reason. I want the 1 1/4 riser, looks nicer imo.

Murphy’s law and I figured it’s cheap insurance, if they do the brake line they can’t say I didn’t bleed it correctly if something happened or if the brake fluid got on the paint and it bubbles, they did it, not me. I like both the chizeled and the fused bars but I agree on the 1 1/4 looking nicer. I had 14 inch Carlini’s on a breakout and 10 inch factory 47 on my road glide. Just feel better for me at 10 inches, and I’m 6ft tall.
My original plan was to get the Chizeled but then I realized I'd need new risers. The Fused have grown on me a lot though, I like the angle right before the grips. Little less common than the sharp type. I like a 14 to 16" bar, but I am 6'6. I read the Fused are closer to a 13" though but that's still plenty. I like my hands to be juuust above my shoulders.

So did you get everything fully assembled, and just topped off the brake fluid, then rode it over for the bleed?
