The location of these indicators are proving more of a challenge than I thought they would be. Not looking to do a major rework of them now. So after the mid-controls go back on, I'll be seeing what handlebars to use. Easiest thing would be to find bars to work with the stock pullback risers (which I was never a fan of). I picked up a set of Super Glide bars, but they don't appear to offer enough change from stock to warrant trying them. I'll be looking at using 4"-6" straight risers (and retain the indicator top clamp) with different type bars now. Hopefully I'll know what I'm doing by the end of the weekend! ;)

Funny how you change your mind once you try things out. The Super Glide Bars did not work out at all, with any height risers. Relocating the indicators wasn't worth the effort. So I used 3-1/2" risers with 12-1/2" Flanders Original Apes, and left the riser clamp w/indicators as is with the new setup. ;)

HeHe!!! I pulled em back about 1-1/2" yesterday and they feel pretty good. I'm not sure if they needs to be lowered anymore. Might be "just right" now! ;) ;D

Here's a pic of them pulled back 1-1/2". They seem "just right" now. We'll see as I get more time with em. It's been freakin cold here! ;)
