more bars changes...really?

A few weeks, maybe months ago, I dropped a perfectly nice set of Biltwell Windows Bars off at the shop for Kim. He, Pat and I had talked about what the perfect size would be for making these bars shorter to be a bit more comfy and just look a little different.

Originally we had talked about making the window a perfect square, but I left that up to Kim. In the end, he wound up cutting about 6 inches out of their total height for a now width-wise rectangular window. I still need to clean up the welds and brush them to a nice non-chromed finish, but I figured I'd mount them up and give them a ride or two or ten.






I gotta say that I wasn't a huge fan of the low feeling when I had drag bars on my last sportster for a hot minute. Especially after the road trip to the Smoke Out West a few years ago. These are definitely higher than those were by about 4 inches and really feel great. Its amazing how much smaller the bike feels overall compared to when I had the Chumps bars on there. Less control than the Chumps for sure, but a nice, compact and quick 'feeling' ride nonetheless.

this exhibit was called "creepy".

it actually wasn't called that, but it was super creepy.

bright idea

shovels for thought

Ah, the ubiquitous cone shovel. Everyone on a Sportster wants one. Everyone on a panhead sold one. Everyone with a knuckle rebuilt one. Everyone on a TC-88 mocked one
