Correction. It all depends on the angle of your bars. If they're any lower than "in line" with your forks, they'll likely hit. Just stopped at a dealer, and the angle they're shipped at will definitely hit. I rolled mine to be "in line", and don't have an issue.

Here's my 3 week old Vivid Black Special.

First round of mods include
J W Speaker LED headlight, KST Renegade 16" Bars, Corbin Hollywood Solo seat and pillion pad, V&H Hi Output pipes with Power Duals headers, Screaming Eagle Heavy Breather plus a few little bits you can't see in the photo!

Love this bike and the new motor is simply amazing!

They were made for me by Bill at BR Customs.
Originally chromed for my old Street Glide but had them powder coated black.

Lovely mods mate. Im having trouble fitting an aftermarket LED headlight on mine, currently waiting for an adaptor to try off eBay but I don't really know what I'm doing lol!
Any advice on what you used for your J W Speaker LED headlight much appreciated cheers
