They are quite a bit more narrow than the stocks, but I really like the position.

One thing I am doing this week is lowering the bike, don't get me wrong I love the stock bikes, but I've fallen in love with the long and low bobber look, so I've got a local fab shop making me up some struts to replace the rear suspension, a poor mans hardtail if you like!

Overall the rear end will be dropping by 3-4 inches, I'm also making a new seat out of an old seat base and some foam and leather bought off eBay, should be interesting!

In the mean time here's an idea of what it should start looking like:



Hmm loooowww!
