No more chrome drag bars

The big chrome drag bars on the bike led to a really cramped riding position and a look I did not care for. eBay to the rescue again. Some used risers, a bar and grips allowed me to alter the riding position in conjunction with the modified saddle. Together, this has transformed the Sportster from a mini cruiser to a fun sporty ride.
Drag bars with nasty grips. Yuck.

Ugly removed, ready for more used parts.

New riser, clamp and bar installed. Mirrors flipped under the bar just because. They are ugly and will be gone eventually.

Old over new. I really like this change.

Took them both out for a ride today with a friend. Totally different in a good way.
