Wow, Dave looks great!

Dave, when you say Factory 47, you mean Harley-Davidson or is the vendor named "Factory" ?

Factory 47 is the manufacture or vendor, like Paul Yaffe for example.

Factory 47 use to be Burly Bars I believe.

Thanks, they are quite comfortable so far.  I got quite a few complements at the club house last night.

One really nice thing about the Factory 47 Bars is you can use stock wiring and stock clutch and brake lines.  That save a good deal of money, and time.  Yaffe requires all new hydraulic lines and wiring.

Looking good. Hope you make it back to the Valley so I can see them in person.

I hope to make it back this year.  Can't say for sure yet though.

Really nice looking bars Dave!

[FLSTFI Dave]

Thanks Rob.  Seem really comfortable, I can't wait for a long trip to really know.

Hi Dave - after a few months and many more miles, do you have an update on your new bars? Thanks and cheers, Scott

Hi Dave - after a few months and many more miles, do you have an update on your new bars? Thanks and cheers, Scott

Just did a trip out west, 6881 miles in 15 days.  One 855 mile day, with a 700 mile day the next day on the way home.

Love the bars, very comfortable for long days.  Very good bike control in the High winds in WY, and good control in the mountains.

I now think I like them better than the 14 Yaffee Monkey bars I ran on my last road glide and still have on my King.

Thanks Dave - going to take a closer look at them. I miss the 578's I had on the 13' flhtcuse8... the hand position on the fltruse, even rolled up, puts my hands to sleep at times.

Read the tips one here are the Road Glide forum about removing the pin (quite simple), moved the bars up slightly forward of in line with the forks and wow I love it. I don't think I'll be buying apes like I originally intended as this made the riding positing just about perfect for me. Thank you to everyone for the tips!

That was my issue even with the stock one rolled forward, just was never comfortable with the wrist angle.  Hands would fall asleep often.  Wrist angle on these new bars is great.  Even on 12 hour days my hands only fell asleep a couple times.  They would fall asleep several times in a 5 hour ride with the stock bars.

Did you pull the pin and roll them forward Dave, or just go to the stop limits? I haven't had a chance to ride for any length of time yet so I'm curious.

Pulled the pin the day I took delivery of the bike.  I was one of the first to do so.  Actually did it at dealer before I rode home on bike.
