For me, the street slammer bars had a good few inches of pullback so I'm not leaning so far forward. The reach with the stock bars was too long so I was leaning forward too much. It put too much pressure on my tailbone and really my shoulders I found when doing hard turns, it really pushed the limits of my reach. Now I'm sitting straighter, my shoulders don't ache after 30 min of riding, and the turns are more controlled. The height is slightly higher (in my opinion) than the stock bars but not too much to be uncomfortable.

 

Thanks bro...looks even better than I pictured it in my head!

 

Thanks for the info. I was considering putting on risers but will go ahead and order the street slammers.

 

Just to clarify: The Street Slammer bars should NOT require new cables, correct?

 

Oh yeah, forgot about these. Here's a couple pics of a few upgrades. Detachable windshield, sissy bar, back rest, luggage rack and the smoked led brake light on the luggage rack.

Roll on.

 

Clutch and throttle cables are good. Need to replace front brake line only.

Thank you, Sir.

 

Thanks everyone for giving your input on the Street Slammer bars.

Will the fit shop know which brake cable to get or does anyone remember the part number of the one they picked up?

I've attached a PDF file (inside the zip file...) with the cable requirements for the Street Slammer Bars by model and cable style. I think this should be what you're looking for.

I'm interested in seeing how much your powder coating costs; I was going to send the same parts off when I got home and would like to compare.

Hey Dave real quick. I'm getting ready for my last mod, seriously , and need some input.
I'm getting ready to install the Shotgun Shock and wanted to know if I'm gonna have to replace the kick stand. I'm sure I'll have to, but don't know what I actually need to get.
Thanks in advance!!!

P.S. Palm trees are nice!
