Great thread!

Thanks!
Definitely moving a little faster through the build than I thought I would.
But waiting on some throttle cables now. Since I can’t ride without em and it’s apart, I’m trying to find bars before I re-assemble it.

Screenshots just don’t do it justice.

I had to put 2007 VRSCR bars on my 2006 R since you can't find the 06 bars anywhere. Vintage parts still had the 07 bars and the 07 front brake line/hose (HD made the bars a tad taller on the 07's and the line/hose longer, the 06 would work fine for the 07 bars).

I have a 2016 DX. So I think the 07 R bars are less rise. I ditched the stocks bars and clamshell. Currently using 2018 Fatbob bars and risers but they don’t fit the way I’d like. They’re also pretty wide (33.5”). I also wanted something like a drag bar and not the Moto style that comes on the DX. Trying to avoid a full custom setup where I would have to change or extend cables and wires. Might have finally found what I’m looking for after a year of researching.
Drag Specialties Big Buffalo T-Bars 5” rise. Still hunting for photos of other bikes with 6” risers.
Indecisive at the moment lol.
Appreciate the input though!

 

[SUP_yohh]

Got new bars. Went with some Big Buffalo T-Bars. They’re nearly perfect but with the pullback and shape of the bars they dip down at the grips. They’re made for Dynas and Sportsters. So the rake of the V-Rod causes them to have a “downward” pullback. I’ll be putting these and stock 2018 Fatbob bars and risers up for sale once I find my replacements.

Going to be changing then again. Picked up some Trask 6” risers from a local shop.

But here’s some photos of them installed for now.

 

[SUP_yohh]

Airride is on but I’ve got another project on my hands at the moment. Friends Fatboy needed some taller bars and been working on that.

Lookin' Good!

Could only be better if it was yellow..... I mean orange..... 🤪

Could only be better if it was yellow..... I mean orange..... 🤪

Honestly I was looking at a 17 Corona Yellow. But they were asking a lot more than I wanted to spend.

I then found an orange 14 in NC. But as soon as I started talking about flying down to ride it home. Guy bailed and stated he was riding it again.


That’s when I found this black one that ticked all the boxes except color. Win some lose some. I’m happy with what I ended up with though.

 

[SUP_yohh]

No new progress but here are some of my old bikes I had.

 

[SUP_yohh]

Went to Pittsburgh this past weekend for the Bagger races. Snagged a couple photos but not of any of the baggers 😂😂

[SUP_yohh]

Bad connection at work. Can’t get the photos to load 😂😂

YOU MUST BEG FOR IT! 😂😂

[SUP_yohh]

Alright here’s the Pittsburgh photo dump.
More updates coming soon.
Got a center stand installed.
Waiting on another set of handlebars and tires to be delivered.
Along with a few other bits. Hoping in a week or two I’ll have those all squared away.


For now… ENJOY!

 

[SUP_yohh]
