Sportster 48 Clip Ons
What brand did you go with for your clip ons? I'd need 39mm correct? Love to see some pics. Love the look, but is it worth breaking your back? Would you do it again? I went with a straight drag bar, so I'm pretty close to getting the cafe look. But, I'm worried I may regret lowering the bars those couple of inches. More importantly, what did you do with your brake reservoir tubing etc. did it require mods to all those things on the bars currently. The 48 front end is unique and want to see what you did to make them work. I know I'll have to some grinding to the top etc because HD built everything in...

Ahh, looks like RSD. Looks great. Seems like you just tucked the resevoir tubing under the clip-on in the opposite direction. I think I'm going to do it. I ALMOST have enough "points" saved up at my local HD dealer for a $200 credit with them. So, I might order the clip-ons, or the RSD clarity line Derby Cover basically free of charge. I figure, what the hell...Thanks for the pics. Damn, you're a set of RSD Black Ops Boss wheels, and you have their cafe racer. Love it. I wish I could find a Nightster front end on something like Kreggslist, nothing. With the 48 essentially having a Wide Glide front end on it. Alotta parts just don't work. For example ordered some Alloy Art Speed Down bars. Thought it would have looked great and would have been a nice compromise to having to grind down the top of the tree, but of course everything was too wide and didn't fit. Cost me a restocking fee even tho Den K told me they would work when I ordered them. I totally agree with the forward controls part...Learning the hard way

Oh great...What turn signals are those? I am looking for something like that. As I mentioned, I went with a drag bar at the moment and it forced me to the lower the turn signals. Quite frankly, they stick out like 2 sore you know whats and totally ruin the lines. I would get rid of them completely, but in some of the burbs I already get heat for being too loud. The less attention I get, the better. That means having front signals...

Dont be fooled when they tell ya you can use clip one without altering cables its a crock of shyte...i had a new brake cable made up a new shorter clutch cable and the twin throttle cables as well
Yes my stuff is all RSD and i also have fitted PROGRESSIVE970 since that picture taken.

I went and ordered a 48 (as i think its the best looking Harley for 20yrs) went home thought it over and changed my order for a Nightster as this was the direction i wanted to go .........good luck
