Build Update - Ergonomics Phase

You can customize a motorcycle in one of two ways: all at once or in phases.

I chose the latter. 

After purchasing a new Softail Low Rider, it’s safe to say that I’m a little slim in the pockets. With that in mind, I decided to take a methodical approach to modifying my new rig. 

I needed to prioritize my new additions and upgrades and I came up with the following model:

Ergonomics: LA Choppers Miter Handlebars, Edward Richie Sissy Bar (passenger ergo)

Performance: Stage 1 - Two Brothers Racing Comp-S Exhaust, Two Brothers Juicebox, S&S Stealth Mini Tear Drop Air Cleaner

Cosmetics: Custom Dynamics Integrated Tail Light (eliminates rear turn signals), sandblast and clearcoat all tins & handlebars, vintage Harley-Davidson tank decal (see photo below)

First and foremost, I needed a sissy bar. 

With the 107 cu. in. motor launching us from every stop light, Michelle was having a hard time staying on the rear fender. She would cling to my back like a koala on a bamboo tree. That hunched over, nail-digging passenger position is fine for street riding, but one’s back can easily tire when you’re out on the open road. 

On that note, I made sure my first purchase was a custom Edward Richie sissy bar. Last June I purchased a helmet and jacket rack from Ed and I was blown away by the quality of the piece.

So once I required a new sissy bar, I knew the perfect person to contact. Because the revamped Softail platform is so new, there aren’t many aftermarket options available, but Ed handmakes each sissy bar to order. After quickly measuring the width of my rear fender and the distance between my strut bolts (center to center).

Armed with the measurement, I direct messaged Ed and kicked off the purchasing process. Two replies later, I was entering my credit card info and Ed was already getting started on the sissy bar. 

He gave me an initial ETA of 2 weeks (pretty fast for a custom piece), so I was surprised when the product landed on my doorstep in half the time.

Installation was a breeze. Using a ts-40 bit, I extracted the rear strut bolts (secured by a removable bracket), slid the sissy bar between the fender & strut, and resecured the bolts. I’d be overestimating if I said it took me half an hour.

So what do I think of the product? It’s perfect. Ergonomically, the thick gauge of the steel is more than enough support for Michelle and/or luggage. Aesthetically, it’s the ideal height and meets the rear tip of my saddle.

I will definitely continue to purchase pieces from Edward Richie, especially because it’s a high-quality, American made product at competitive prices. This sissy bar blows any mass-manufactured version out of the water!

Next up, the handlebars...

I was never a fan of buckhorn bars. They swoop back toward the rider and the rise is low, leaving your hands resting at the perfect height for a walker. They feel like you’re wrestling with the steering wheel of a fire truck. They have a certain “Dad”-ness to them. 

So I decided to update the look of the handlebars. I wanted something with the rise of a t-bar, but with a classic chopper aesthetic. Actually, that’s the theme of the entire bike, Modern-day (Club Style) performance, with old school (Chopper) design. The LA Choppers Miter handlebars fit the bill perfectly. 

The 10″ rise lifts my arms up to shoulder level and brings my fist out in front of me, instead of at my sides. With my hands in this position, my elbows aren’t bowed. I’m able to dive into corners easier. I’m able to split through traffic more smoothly. I’m able to ride the way I’m used to riding. That additional height also allows the viewer's eye to draw a line from the bars to the tank console and all the way down to the rear axle. It’s modern-day performance with old school lines.

However, it’s important to note that handlebar swaps are not for the meek. It’s a trying process that will make you question your skills, grit, and sanity. Anything requiring wire and electrical work warrants a slow pace and a meticulous attention to detail. Make sure you’re armed with both before you pick out that next pair of bars for your bike.

Now that Michelle isn’t sliding off the back, now that I don’t have to do the Twist for every turn, now that we’re comfortable on the bike, it’s time to focus on the performance!
