Props to the guy who did the FXRT bike, but I do agree the bars suck.

 

Thanks , I'll have a look . Love the Fatboy .... I looked at a couple before I settled on the KIng . Oh , what I could have done ! Went with the King because my wife likes to ride with me now and then . Down for a few months of winter here so I'm tearing into the King and getting her where I need it to be .

 

 

 

wow i dont know about that. They both look stupid but bars can be changed. Theres no coming back from a 300" front wheel. The frames been chopped, its alot harder to replace the frame.

 

The FXRT clone looks great, but I'm not a fan of T-bars either.
My dream Harley, at least straight from the factory, would be a new Softail with good size fiberglass saddlebags and a normal size fixed fairing with GPS and satellite radio.
Matt Laidlaw talked about that in his review of the 2018 Sport Glide. He thought Harley really missed the boat saddlebag and fairing wise on the Sport Glide.
If they offered such a bike from the factory would no one buy or would it take sales away from the Street/Road Glide.
My inseam is pretty short and I've had no trouble with the new Street/Road Glides I've test ridden.
I just like the way a new Softail "feels" seat-of-pants wise...if that makes any sense.

 

Use to being the odd man out so I would like to try the bars on my Road Glide if I didn't have to modify the fairing. I'm all about comfort and having a close end to end bar works for me. I might even want to try them on my Road King??

The second bike, I wonder if that headlight is actually functional?

 

I think it looks great including the bars...

 

ill bet its more functional than the old halogens. Ive got a flashlight with a single element or diode or whatever that puts out 1500 lumens. I think most cars are around 3000. My flashlite at 1500 is a damn lazerbeam. Ill bet that little light works pretty darn good.
