     Yea I was allways going to get the Harley drag bars but as soon as I saw the new lower style rsd ones I was sold! But your right pritty pricey! But the quality is very good!

    Was a bit of fucking around to get them on, riserless suck! Had to put my folk tubes all the way down flush with the top tree so the bars wouldent hit the top folk nuts, only just fits aswell

    Love your gas cap btw!

    Hello again, I have just finished off the DK's coil relo and Flex 6 key move. Thanks so much for the heads up on that one guys, it worked out a treat! Its going to take me some time to get used to the new key location... The whole change took maybe 3-4 hours, I did have the tank lift already. Yes I have moved the harness up the top there where it was hanging down, hehe. I had to pull that particular part out from all the way down under the right side foot peg, only one wire, so I could move the harness to up over the backbone. Only other major hassle with the whole job was cutting and shutting the S/E long plug lead back to size ( it will be getting changed out in the future too). Apart from that , not one wire was cut, for anybody interested in doing this.

    Jerry C, what's the plate holder make? It looks like it is further back than the HD one and might even be compliant in Oz. Any problems with the coppers?

     Hey bud, no problems with the police yet, and its been on for a while. Qld road rules say it must be mounted horizontal, and viewable from 45 degrees at 20m behind the bike. I have been through all of the ADR's and that is the only stipulation.  As for the holder , it is the HD one available in Aus. but I have modified it by cutting the rear plate it attaches to the bike with. I have quick mounts for some leather bags, so to make the bags fit I needed to bring the plate back , and make it legal at the same time. If you can see in the detail of the pictures , about the only down side is you can see the original line of the outer bracket which is supposed to sit flush under the side bars, is down a little, but its not noticable.

     Actually , you can see it really good in the pictures, that outer part where you see the original line of the plate mount , is where I cut the rear mounting plate, then the additional piece of plate I had to weld in looked a bit like a long diamond shape.

    I have young girls, which I have the standard pillion seat and I am able to still attach, I am always worried they are going to fall off the back after giving it some one day while one of them wasnt really expecting it and got a bit of a fright , so I put the bar on as a bit of peace of mind

    I will have a look around , there was a little stamp on the side plates , I cant remember what it said , but I cut most of that off, easy over 1/2 of the original metal went. Of any that I have seen on the net none have the bar mount as far back as this one, also the original cut out is more forward in the bracket. Again of what I found so far the cut out is nearly under the mount of the sissy bar. I will let you know if I find out more.
