Default drags are on !!!

well i got them on.it was easier than i thought. i also got the t/s relocation kit.i was not crazy about cutting the fact wiring,so my buddy came up with the idea of putting the t/s on the upper tripple tree pinch bolts.i think it looks better than the stock position. check it out and tell me what all of you think.thanks.jay.

Looks good, chief! Wouldn't ya know it, I got mine with the drags already included and no one relocated the turn signals. Took care of that and I was good to go.

Looks good, but on '04 and up bikes, you don't neeed to cut the T/S harness, there is more than enough slack. When I did mine, just ziptied the slack out of the way.

i noticed that your t/s are on the lower triples,mine were on my fact handlebars,and i don't think they would have fit on the drags,atleast to the point of it being to bunched up and to busy looking.

While I don't care too much for drag bars, the signals on the upper trees look great IMHO. Gives it that Hammerhead shark look...

Yeah. I thought it looked odd so I took care of that. I was a little shocked that the previous owner didn't do something about that to begin with.

Looks Good!

How would you rate the riding position versus the stock setup?
