Default Got off early today... bored... inverted my bars...

Took about an hour... and isn't TOO uncomfortable to ride around.

I think i might leave it like this for awhile.

Thoughts...

Doing the same thing on my project bike, just not as drastic. I'm using a set of stock bars of a 2007 Fat Bob. Cut 1.5 " off each end to shorten them up and internally wiring the controls. Actually feels quite comfortable.

Rode it around the block before it got dark and it seemed to handle fine...
The bars go lock-to-lock on either side, they juuuust clear the tank.
The right side turn-signal comes close to the SE Air Intake by about 1/8".

i gotta be honest i don't like the look and never did. would look so much better with some clip ons but that just my 2 *** hairs. plus, it just draws more attention now to your speedo, looks hugemungous! i think if you move that it might look a little cleaner.

I've always liked the look of this. Looks really sweet and it's free, too. Nice job!

I don't like the look of this. It reminds me of the ears of a hound dog. Take from that what you will :P
