Added some Biltwell H Bars tonight.

Can't test since it's snowing but they sure do feel right.

Man I love the geometry of the older ironhead frames! I wish the evos rear end looked like that. Crib motorcycles does some cool Sporty chops that moves the seat loop and shock placements and they look killer.

I'd say anything after 78 is a turn to a different direction. 79 is when the new frame design really happened and it evolved from there.

I feel the same. And Crib is one of my favorite builders.

Nice man. Those have any give? I tried solid struts and couldn't do it. Still rockin the shorty shocks.
