Picked the bike up today - with - newly installed =
- Ohlins FKS226 Fork Cartridges
- Chrome Lower Fork Legs and upper cover-Cow Bells - from ***** Shiny
- swapped out the LA Choppers 10” 1-1/4” Twin Peaks bars for = Fat Baggers Inc 11” Reduced Reach bars
The FBI bars are just awesome and exactly what i wanted and needed for more comfort, control, confidence, and increased & improved leverage and handling! I almost ordered the Khrome Werks 2+2 Sweepers, but found the FBI bars with very similar dimensions/measurements, and I like the “style” of the FBI Bars better….
For reference - I am 5’10” and i have average arm length - sorry I don’t recall my shirt arm length…. I liked the LA bars, looks, fit, finish, BUT, the pullback was simply not enough for me, adjusted as far back as i could (i literally had a business card clearance to the tank with the bars turned left-full-lock) so they had me uncomfortably leaning forward, and the leverage in slow speed maneuvering was just odd/off……Now - with the FBI bars, I can comfortably lean into my Road Sofa backrest, and have a comfortable bend at my elbows, and great “feel” when maneuvering. So - for anyone looking for bars, and you are under 6ft tall - give a strong look and consideration to the FBI 11” Reduced Reach bars, and the Khrome Werks Reduced Reach 1-1/4” Fat Stretch Bagger Handlebars.
The shop said they spent a bit of time “cleaning up” the Chromed legs & Cow Bells prior to install - the exterior looks great.
The Ohlins Fork Cartridges = just awesome, after only 30 miles. I hope to get some saddle time in the coming weeks, rainy weather subsiding and permitting.
