i have 3 bone spurs and 3 messed up discs and a pinched nerve between my c4 and c6 in my neck..the only thing that bothers me is a dam helmet and the bitter cold.

 

I hear Ya on the Helmet. I've noticed the shortie helmet usually causes no harm. I wear the full face only when it's cold. Combine that with more clothes around the neck, makes for more weight on my head and limited motion. Then I feel it.

I've really been enjoying some short, late night blasts close to home on these cool nights. Ride a little, stop and warm up, ride some more. Just enjoying it before the cold really sets in.

Last year we had a crappy summer. Cold and cloudy most days, but we had a great fall. Days stayed warm well into Thanksgiving. I hope this fall is similar. I don't plan on winterizing. Just keeping the bike in the garage and run it a few times a month when the roads are clear.

BadaZZ Looking Bike BTW, I'm gonna get a decent pic of mine today so I can put it up here, even though it's practically bone stock

 

Off Topic, but I wasn't aware my bike had a rev limiter. Good Idea since there is no tach so does it rev out at 5500 RPM? didn't feel like I was pushing it that hard. I have 900 miles on and yesterday was the first time I hit it. Probably not a Break-In feature. One less thing to worry about.

 

i was in that part of the country last summer ..i moved to az from maryland and its a helmet state..i loved goin for a ride up to Pa the lid came off at the state line and rode all those great farm roads threw gettysburg and york up to sealingsgrove... but i love the Az weather no helmet 75mph speed limits on long desert roads small mountains with great scenery..i rode my bike all winter last year even threw the snow ..it sucked and yea imma dumass for doin it but what the hell!!

 

Matt,

With all due respect, just so no one else makes your mistake, the '10 WideGlide Stock bars are 1.25" There is no drop to 1.00" under the clamp. I know the top clamp makes it look like there might be, but there isn't. I JUST change my risers from stock, and as such I eyeballed the bare stock handlebars. The only place they taper is at the ends for standard hand controls and grips. This is the HD part number and link for the risers I bought:

56267-09

That page show the 4: riser in the picture but the 6" is listed on the same page. I must emphasize: the stock bars for a 2010 FXDWG are 1.25"

Respectufully,

USMAMule

 

LOL, Did the 6" risers require any other hardware (cable extensions etc) ? Book says 'Yes', dealer says 'No'.

The bars on the FatBob are also catching my interest. More of an angle and not quite as wide. I think the width on the stock bars is a tad much. Also need skinnier grips. Other than that it fits me perfect!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Mule,

BDX
