Hey all,

I have decided to scrap the drag bars and go for some ape hangers on my 05 FXSTI.
1. Does anyone have a basic config of the parts I will need to go with hidden wires.
2. Should I get a different set of risers from the stock ones?
3. Does the 1 1/4 inch have an advantage over 1 inch bars?
4. 12 inch, 14 inch or 18 inch.

I value the infor I get from this site.

CD- Your guys helped me and bought a big sucker. Would you be able to get me the parts I need?

I'm having some work done to my 2003 Deuce. Big bore,ported heads and screaming eagle 257 cams. I was wondering what carb I should run. Dealer doing install says the stock cv will be sufficient if properly jetted. I was wondering if I'm giving up HP by not going with a Mikuni 42 or 45. Suggestions?

Like to know why my speedo at times it reads about 20 to 30 mph lower at times.Then when I stop and shut the bike off and restart it and go ridding aging it's stays that way for a week or so then it gets massed up aging. thanks

Noticed when I stopped for a break today that I had a small amount of grease on my left hand (along the outer edge) also a small amount on my jacket cuff. I saw what looked like grease "spray" on the clutch lever. I wiped it off and drove for about an hour longer and everything remained clean.....any ideal's where this grease may have come from? I didn't think there was anything in that hand grip area that was actually greased.....I have an 2005 883 low.

Thanks,
Steven
