Hi fellas,
I am still trying to decide on some bars for christmas, how about these from phat performance parts-CP 1.25 inch fatty beach bars? Will stock cables still work? Is anybody runnin these? Thanks for the help

I don't know about the bars but I love your exhaust. They are V&H staggered Shortshots aren't they? Did you change your carb jetting?

Thanks , Their Roadhouse slip-ons. No did not have to rejet as I left the airbox intact with a K&N filter. Since that picture I put the stock back on and did a stage-1. I took them off when I went out through Colorado
to not have to deal with the non-stock ticket issue. Have not had time to put them back on.

How about you jetmechanic. Did you rejet your carb after adding the V&H shortshots?

So if you change pipes but keep the stock air box you don't have to rejet the carb?

I'm glad someone has done all of this stuff before. My buddy the bike mechanic would be sick and tired of all the questions. He has a hard time doing any work because all of his customers and buddies keep him busy asking questions.

I have those bars on my R*. I used the stock cables. I think I might have changed the brake line for a longer one.
