    I am thinking of getting 10inch mini apes like the Street Bob has for my 2015 Dyna Low Rider

    Just looking for any feedback on the comfort factor on long rides.

    I seem to get high vibration on my bars at the moment, I think it's due to the fact that they are adjustable.

     

    Cheers

    I used to own a street bob now own a 2015 low rider ,, Now the street bob i found very very comfortable, but over 100klm p h , i found it a bit of a strain especielly in a head wind , it turned me into a parachute ,,, now with saying that i was going to buy another street bob but liked the fact that the low rider came with mag wheels , ( don't likr cleaning spokes ), a back seat , rear pegs , twin discs , tacho ,, it was really a no brainer ,, buy the LD and put the street bob bars on it ,plus buy a Q, R screen for the long journeys and have the best of both world .

    But after 4000 klms i'm still on the LR bars , i just find them very comfortable , especielly on higher speeds even head winds don't bother me .. Still keep swaying back and forth tho , cos i really like the look of the street bob apes .

    Thanks Boxa,
    Do you find the Bars on the Low Rider have high vibration?

    Sorry for the late reply , but no i don't get any vibration through the bars whatsoever , , try tightening them ... I have noticed a bit more vibratrion through the pegs than i remember with my street bob , but then again its been a while since i owned the SB ,, Although my missis loved the SB but refuses to get on the LR ,,, her excact words after 2-3 klm's was , turn around , take me home and change bikes , get me off this rattling , shaking , bone jarring peice of shit . ha ha

    I'm tellin her theres no difference , but i did have progresive shocks and a decent seat on the SB .. , but i'm happy tgo go along with her , cos she's put her foot down and told me i'm not allowed to sell my other bike that she goes on and has much has i protest i don't need 3 bikes , she's adamant i'm keeping what she now refers to has her bike ,, WINNER ha ha
