I have a question for anyone who installed the Wild1 Chubby low profile drag bars themselves. The ones I got are the 4" Rise, 30-½" wide, 8-½" center, with a 14-½" pullback. From what I've seen on here so far it looks like a fairly easy install. A friend came by today and he says I need to disconnect the wiring harnesses (which requires a specific little pick tool that your typical Harbor Freight type store wont have) and buy a new brake line that's about 6 inches longer. I seem to recall several of you saying that with little tugging and fiddling, everything was long enough without replacing any lines. Am I way off base here?
I have the Wild1Chubby WO501 Drag Bar with 8" rise, 30 1/2" wide, 8 1/2" center, and 11 1/2" pullback.
I needed a longer brake line and hand control wires. Clutch and Throttle were fine. Although, I did eventually switch them all out to the HD Black Diamond cables.
I installed the bars myself and it was a pain in the *** getting the wires inside the bars, PATIENCE is a must. I stopped several times, walked away then came back to it. Now I know why they charge so much for this.

I love the freight train nacelle. I was one of my first options I wanted on my bike; however, my windshield wouldn't fit so I went with the headlight ring visor instead. If I ever get a second bike (Street Glide - oh yeah) I'll definitely drop the windshield and get the freight train nacelle.

Here's a little off topic question:
So there is this weird open space right at the neck that has been really bothering me lately.
Is there anything I can do to it or about it to not make it so noticeable? I know it's no big deal, is part of the design of the bike, and no one else ever seems to notice, except for me, but it has been bugging me!

The struts are RSD as well. It did lower the bike by a 1/2". The seat is a little stiff. As for changing the ride, I can't comment. I never road the bike before all the up grades. I will post some more pix soon.
