The sissy bar is on for a weekend trip I have coming up.





Those bars look fantastic. Were you able to keep the stock cables and wiring? I love that look and am thinking about doing mine the same way now that I see how good yours looks.

Your bike looks Damn good, Tweakin.. A nice change of pace, from seeing all the apes as well.

Thanks for the compliments on the bars. I know apes and t bars are the thing right now, so that is why I went with these... I am still keeping the RSD vintage apes for now but might sell them in the future.

All stock cables work with these bars.

Nice looking bike. Ive been considering getting those bars for my 2010 FXDC. For the riding position, do these bars have you leaning forward or are they at a good arms reach, elbow slightly bent, and comfortable? Thanks!

I'm really curious about this as well... aren't the stock bob bars about a 6.5" pull pack and these are 8.5"?, It seems like they could be a pretty comfortable bar, but I can't afford a $200 guess...

I am 5'9" and they are really comfortable for me. I ditched the apes because I hated having to lean forward all the time. With these bars I can sit straight up and am real comfortable.

Hope this helps guys.

It's nice to see some sensible bars for a change. Those look great and comfortable. The MX bars have been my favorite for many decades and these are pretty close.
