Beautiful Bike...What bars are those?
This bike is gorgeous! I just purchased a 2013 Road Glide Ultra 2 weeks ago and I love the bars you have on here!! What are they?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I am not going to make the claim it rides better than stock, but it doesnt ride any worse either. Slow speeds take a little getting used to at first, but within 10 minutes you will be fine. People want to say that it effects long distance riding, but it is complete opposite. When I am on the highway I can not tell the difference between the 21 and the stock. I also lowered my front end about an inch

Mine's a road king, but same issues would apply, if there were any. Honestly the front end feels a bit heavier at crawling along speeds, like in a parking lot or somethin, and the ride may be a bit rougher... that one's actually hard to say, still rides on a cloud. I didn't lower the front end or anything, i decided once it was on there that i liked the way it looked raised a bit in the front. From my own experience, i wouldn't try to talk anyone out of a 21 based on handling issues.

Thanks. I appreciate the compliment. They are Cyclesmith bagger bars. I like Road Glides with apes too, but I dont think my bars would look good on them. They have a bend for the batwing fairing and I think an ape bar without the bend would look better on the sharknose.

Thanks Rob. I love it and get asked all time about it. I have to admit I have been very adamant about not getting the rear done, but I am starting to come around. You may be getting a call from me in the very near future.

But you can't even see the rear wheel. It 's a bagger!
