I've had the M bars for a few months, just got the NH rearsets, and I must say they're a winning combination! The riding position really feels like a "boy racer", it's extreme compared to stock, but it works well. There is a lot less weight on your rear so the numb butt won't be an issue.

The M bars are mounted "upside down" so that they're lower, you can mount them either way.

The NH rearsets are great, a little pricey but worth it. Lucky for me I got mine used here in the classifieds. I was worried that the linkage would ruin the sweet shifting feel of the bonnie trans, but it did not at all. In fact, I think it shifts better than before! The brake side required a little more effort to install than the shifter side, but it was still a job that can be done in under an hour.

here's a pic:




Highly recommended!

Jeff, looks good - I like the rear fender treatment as well...

What a little sleeper she is right now...

Cheers,

just for comparison of riding position (and a good laugh) here's what my bike looked like the 2nd day after I got it:

Gosh sweat, I coulda told you how awesome this combination is! Glad you like the new feel, it took me a little time to get used to, but now I wouldn't go back to the stock setup if you paid me!

You're right - that pic was a good laugh.

Glad to see you got the bike back together. Keep rockin.

That second pic is laughs!

Is that the new short fender from Bellacorse? What bar ends are you using? I need some of those BAD.

that is in fact the bellacorse LED mini fender. Easy install, I just hacked the wires off my stock tailight and wired it up. I bought the ABS fender plate from Newbonneville and bolted the bellacorse fender to it. I used both because the bellacorse fender is really narrow, and would allow water to fling up under the seat.

The mirrors are Napoleons, they're great, and work well with the M bars.

Bubs. It's a complete system, headers and mufflers, they're separate in that they aren't one piece, but for $550 you get headers and mufflers. They are a true 2-2 in that there is no crossover.
