Snow day + service manual + a few new parts = this.

Thrashin high bend bar and pullback adapter plate. Harley edge cut levers and mirrors. Thunderbike satin black metal grips.

I'll post images when finished. And some lessons learned that might help if you're doing the same work.

looking good. I used to run Biltwell high bends for years but switched to Thrashin a couple bikes ago and like ‘‘em way better.

Installed Thrashin RoadGlide adapter pullback with stock riser. 2 inches up and 1.5 back. Thrashin High Bend bar. Rolled them back to comfortable reach.

I used the service manual and got 90% in my garage. Thrashin said no extra brake line. They're wrong. 2 inches short. I'll take it to the dealership for the brake line and fluid. Service manual says computer adjustment needed for ABS and brake fluid fill.

More lessons learned posted soon.

​​​​​​ It’s a shame they don’t make a full size bag for the right side. With 2 into 1 (which I like) it would clear.

If anyone knows a pair of bags that are roomier than the stock bags, are equal in size, and look good, point me that way...

for having big bags, it would be better in my opinion to buy a Low Rider S and mount an ST fairing and those bags from Advanblack...

Leather Pros, unless you want hard bags.
