I don't know if that makes any difference.

thanks man, could be. actually thought of changing to that type of bar

I have 1/16" clearance on both sides using the Nastalgic engine guard if that helps

Guardian Ball.

Friend handmade this for me. Actually like it, it's a little different from the normal bell.
This actually rings just like the bell . I thought it was cool.

My recently purchased bike:

Installed Harley Highway bars, 18" recurve windshield from Clear View Shields, and quiet baffles for the V&H Big shots. Tried installing the wind deflectors but ran into a snag on mounting them.
