    I can see em too - did you photoshop out the kick-stand or something? Looks real nice... do the drag bars make that much difference to the seating position over stock?

    Sorry guys, not sure what's going on with the pics - why some can see them and others not.

    @ daimoh: Yes I did p'shop out the kickstand, made the pics cleaner.  The bars and the seat combined are still very comfortable for me.  I guess I'm leaning a little further forward but nothing uncomfortably noticable.  I was intially concerned about how it might feel but I'm really happy with the result - and the look!

    Hi Slapster, glad to hear that you can finally see the pics, was worried I'd done something wrong at my end when posting them. Really like what you've done with your Iron by the way. Always happy to catch up for a ride.

    Just a little note: one thing I've noticed since putting on the drag bars, and having my rear-view mirrors mounted below the handlebars... my mirrors no longer give me a clear view of what's going on behind me. I've tried twisting and repositioning them but just can't seem to get them positioned to see clearly anymore. I've rung around and apparently I can get a mirror extension kit which will add about 2" to the length of the mirror arm, which will hopefully give me a clearer view. Feel better when I can see what's going on behind me!

    I have the HD 30" bars also but I think my problem is made a little worse with the solo spring seat. That has lifted me up a little higher on the bike which makes my viewing angle higher also, as I see the bar in my rear-view mirrors. Actually it's the right-hand side mirror that is the main problem for me. Anyway, I've improved the problem a little by putting in a 6mm spacer to drop the mirrors down a little. This will suffice until I can get the 2" mirror extension kit from Harley, and I'll probably shorten them a little as well.
