    How goes it lads? Well although my back is stuffed, I want to get some bits for tinkering (2008 FXDC) in the hope I can get back on the ol' HD in coming months.

                                    Ordering the following from the States;

             Bassani Pro-Street Straight cut pipes.
    These are about the loudest pipes around and originally was put onto them by OzRoader. (Will need to get a TTS computer off Scotty too for these)

             Also going to get the NEW lowering kit from Burly USA.
    1 13100470 B281003 PU DS SHK KIT SLAMMER 06-09 FXD $239.96

    • While I'm there I'm going to change my bars. Would love some advice/pics/tips on DRAG bars. (I'm 6'2" with a good reach, my stock bars put alot of weight on my lower back) I'm thinking I'd be quite happy leaning forward to reach some drag bars (e.g. like on NightTrain)
    • What are your thoughts? What is the minimum Riser and Pullback do you think I can comfortably get away with???
      (I want as little rise/pull as possible, I hate the modern look of huge rise & pull, that is not really drag bars IMO, I like more similar to original Marlboro Man bike....)

    Any new feedback?

    Starting to think some Apes might be the go, for posture/back etc. ??


    Going to go out to MCA today and see what they have on offer.

    Also going to find a good leather vest so I can finally get all these patches onto something!
