#1 “watch out” off of the showroom floor is to ensure that the rear suspension preload is addressed by the dealer. It needs be moved from the shipping setting to one in your weight range. Takes 2 minutes!
Q: I see 93 octane referenced in the dyno charts, but I try and run 87 ethanol free as much as I can. My only "mod" is a pair of Freedom Performance slip-ons with performance (minimal) baffles. Thoughts?
Yes, they are the same OD’s as the OEM bar. But the 7/8 ends are longer, necessitating enlarging the area under the clamps. Also, if choosing black, the throttle side will need reduced under the grip area due to the finish thickness.
Yeah, there is no provision for internal wire routing on the OEM beach bars. You will have to mill the thru-holes yourself if pursuing internal routing. The right side can be a bit of a challenge as you have the extra line for the FBW throttle.
I had them in my hands last month. They are huge and a bit too raked in for me. They require longer hydraulic lines as well as wiring —which is now routed outside of the bars. I ended up passing on them and I installed a set of black Indian Scout Tracker bars instead. BTW, the Bobber part...
With the bike on the stand, the right tail tops out at 16.5” and ends in alignment with the double pin stripe on the top of the fender. It starts to fall off about 1.5” heading forward.
Well, Corbin designed them to fit with the stock fish, so my guess is that they’ll fit —they don’t appear to be as tall. I’ll try to get you a better idea tomorrow when I’m with the bike. If they don’t fit, perhaps FP could do a swap out for you?
Sorry! I swear that I had answered this! 🤷♂️ I bought the 33" and I believe that the next up, the 36", will clear as the tail starts to fall off about 1 1/2" back.
Miserable, rainy day here today. This is from the other day. I did put one of the original Classic panniers on —for about 5 minutes. I just don’t like them and ended up reboxing them. While on, I noticed they just touched the top of the tail. A little shimming would take care of that if you were...
