Hard to tell from the picture I posted but the grips are close to the top edge of the fairing but below it well enough to get the wind protection I was looking for. I have the bars rolled as far forward as I can. If I rolled them down they would be even lower.

As far as the bars themselves, they are very well made and although I’ve only internally wired about five sets of bars these were far and away the easiest bars I’ve ever pulled wires through.

Here’s a shot from the front. This better shows how the 10” bars keep your hands behind the fairing.

Nice. I did the Fat Baggers Flat Tops in 10", same bends just no hooks, they are sweet bars. You will love them

Congrats on the huge milestone. Any major engine work that had to be done along the way?

Hahahahaha funny you ask. About the only original parts are the wheels, calipers , frame, bags, tank and visor/instruments.

It’s a ‘91, same year my Mom died of ALS…so I named her and decided to spare no coin to fix her up from major disrepair.

So during the last year and a half she has got new tires, bearings, shocks, seat, tyranny and motor. Was she a psychological healing of mine to make her perfect in lieu of what my Mom suffered? 🤔 As an old psych major I’m going to analyze myself and say yes! LOL

Really though she runs and handles sweet. But, her one flaw is electrical. A constant battle but fun.
