Number One: NightMare DOES NOT look that old- early thirties would surprise me. Number Two: CPTJAM- you're too old when you give up what looks cool Next time I see you- you'd better not be wearing bermuda shorts, black knee high socks, brown loafers - oh wait- that's what you were wearing the last time I saw you!

Feels good = cool. Suffer in the name of fashion? Fat chance! Hey, I got that outfit on right now! And, I make it look good! Nightmare looks great.

My bars are actually rotatedt down about 15 degrees which makes it even much worse than usual. Looks good though Put the Harley reduced reach seat on.It works great w the drag bars and wrists. I sat on my 03 from Florida to KC one year,only took 24 hrs to get there.

I'm just curious if it's going to be as bad as I think it will. Never had a bike without drag...

I would be more worried about the ghosts than the drag bars.
