z bar install on a 2010 convertible
« on: August 08, 2011, 08:53:21 PM »
 Do you guys and gals with the 2011 convertible find the new z bars comfortable on you bike? I was thinking about changing mine on the 2010. 8)

I'll think twice about those bars. First Vance & Hines 2-1 exhaust, then a corbin seat for long rides. My ass get sore. ;D

If your ass gets sore get some highway pegs and occasionally push down into them and lift yourself off the saddle while riding, gets the blood circulating around your cheeks again.

Coming from a Softail Deluxe, the mini-apes z bar took a while to get used to as the wrist angle was slightly different.  I did rotate em down a bit and now its quite comfortable. These bars seem to really help with the handling and imho, look just great!

Does anybody have a list of parts needed?  I might consider putting these bars on.  I have a 2010.

I installed them on my 2010 and really liked them. However the installed price with cables was around $1000.

Coming off a deluxe I was not sure how I would like them....but they feel really great I just need to rotate them in about 1/2 inch.  :bananarock:
