Here's a UK story
Bought the streetbob brand new in 2006, after seeing it a the bike show in B'ham
Then changed the bars, pipes, shocks, seat - this was the first set of mods
Powder coated most of the bright work and painted the reflectors in the indicators black
Took bike of the road for the winter and made friends with a small engineering firm who performed mechanical magic
Cut off the rear rails, just behind shock mounts, custom triple trees, custom wheels both 18x5.75 running 200/55/18's, mounted the rear fender to the swing arm to keep clearance to a minimum and added a pan style seat
Then had it all powder coated a lovely shade of satin black to match the black denim
Just added the Vance and Hinds naked air cleaner
Plans for this winter new bars, EFM auto clutch, jockey shift, internal throttle, move front brake to gear lever and new indicators and a 59 Cadillac taillight

CombatMedic: I was just scrolling through & one pic caught my eye.....I thought there were training wheels on the bike. K. The reason I'm posting. What kind of bars & risers are these? Can the bars be adjusted back to be a little less "draggy"? Did you not like them & changed them?(why?)
The bars and risers are off of a Fat Bob. As far as adjustment, all that can be done is rotating the bars in the risers to change the angle a bit...mine are set up where it was comfortable.
I didn't like the baby apes that came on it, was a comfort and handling thing. Too many years on sportbikes has caused brain damage.

Similar to these but without the rise flat and curved
