      Question -

      1) do u find the stock position uncomfortable?
      2) dont you think RD handlebars ( straight and wide ), will look funny on a chopper/cruiser like bike?

              About an year ago, I started noticing a TBTS at about 7:00 AM riding in the opposite direction everyday when I pass by certain route to my office. Something was peculiar about his ride & then I started observing keenly or rather few days, I've even waited to see what was so special; and this guy was speeding so fast on the highway that it only takes 2-3 seconds for me to watch cautiously. So one day, I picked up courage & signaled him to stop & inquire about what was so special on his TBTS. Upon speaking with him, I found he'd a custom make handle bar that reminded me of Fatboy's handle bar. It was so awesome to look, I mean, his riding position from distance & the way the thumper made sounded looked really mind blowing.

              PS - I don't know if this guy even checks this thread after posting his questions

                        getting original spares in karolbhag will be mission impossible , best bet will be to visit multiple shops and buy a good one
