That white and stripes look killer! Nice change.

Very happy with mine. I went with Harley, but you might do better with aftermarket as far as price goes. I’m 6’1 and while stock wasn’t really bad, I definitely needed more breaks and was more uncomfortable before.

I want to do it so bad but I also like to scrap pegs. What's your experience leaning over with forwards?

Thanks, I'm quite happy with it. More I look at it the more I think it fits my style. Although it's my first bike I haven't painted green.

I’ve never scraped anything with my forwards, or before either. I’m not aggressive in the canyons.

Klock werks 8". Thinking about trying a clearview as I did have a little more buffering than I preferred but that was only unbearable at speeds I'd rather plead the 5th about.

Put floorboards on it. It will be more comfortable than pegs in either position and you will probably scrape them.

I've had forward's on both my LRS's I actually had the dealer swap them off my previous 2020 LRS to my currant 2022 one, they do scrape especially going around a tight corner, but generally not bad, for me at 6ft they are near perfect along with a new seat and 9.5'' risers
