Default 48 Drag bars installed

Just the typical 48 with drag bars and HD black diamond grips. I love the look it gives the bike and they are surprisingly comfortable to ride with. Pics aren't the greatest. They were taking in my parking garage in korea.

Nice work! I have a 48. I switched the stock bars out after about a year. My wrists kind of hurt from leaning down putting my weight on them. Now I have 10" lane splitters and I'm much more comfy.

Cool! Width on them? Also, did you have to drop the forks?

They are the HD bars, I haven't measured them. No drop on the forks.

So strange, I wonder why some have to drop the forks and others don't. I got my bars in yesterday and I have to drop them about 1mm...

See where the bend in the bars is? It's almost on top of the fork caps. On this bike it looks as if he has the bar ends turned up slightly which would explain the reason why some have drop the forks and some don't. Other's durn the bar ends down slightly.

I like the functionality of the speedo where it's at for now.
