 Dear Bob,

I wanted praise you on the high quality of your product.  I recently purchased a a set of your highway bars and was impressed with them.  They were easy to install and simply to find the correct position.  I have an 04 FatBoy and recently rode from San Antonio Texas to Washington DC, for the Rolling Thunder Rally.  The bars are so very comfortable, it made the 3,600 mile trip a pleasure.  Thank you for an outstanding product.

Hello Bob,

 

I'm a 52 yr old, 6'2" life-long rider. Last year I bought a Harley Fatboy to add a cruiser/distance machine to share the garage with my 1200 Ninja. I love the bike, but found my legs felt cramped, and after 100 miles or so, my hip joints and knees ached, not to mention my rear end. I bought a Saddlemens solo seat which helped with my rear, but my legs/hips were still giving me problems on long rides.

 

I didn't want to clutter the lines of the bike with a case guard, and I don't like how wide your legs have to spread with the case guard/highway peg combination. So, I bought a "mustache bar" from a major manufacturer. The problem with it was it's lack of adjustability, and height. My legs didn't stretch out enough to be comfortable, and the height made me feel like I had my feet on the handlebars.

 

I saw the information on your adjustable bars in American Iron, and after talking with you, ordered the "long" bar. Just wanted to let you know that I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product, and most of all, the riding position that the adjustability of the bar provides. I think this product is a must have for any softail owner, especially tall riders.

 

My only word of advice would be to change your ad information on the long bar that suggests it's for riders 6' 6" and over. I'm really glad I talked to you before ordering, because at my 6'2" height, the long bar was perfect for me. I would recommend it for riders 6' and over. Mine is adjusted pretty far forward. A shorter rider could just swing the bar back a bit.

 

Your bar was twice the price of the mass-produced mustache bar, and worth every penny.

 

Who says Americans can't make quality anymore? I hope you have applied for a patent....

 

Sincerely,

 

John Purdom

Received the highway bar just fine. Slapped it on the bike and after a few adjustments the fit was good. The ability to adjust 360 sets this bar apart from the others.  I believe I will enjoy this product in the yrs to come. Thanks for your prompt shipping, Bob.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I ordered a set of your Highway Bars to fit on my 2005 H-D Heritage Softail Classic.  When I spoke to you, I had a question on whether to get the regular or Long bars      (I am 6'0 tall).  You suggested that I get the Long Bar.  That was A great choice, as it looks good and is the right distance for me.  I have used it on a number of rides and they are comfortable.  The original style (with the round pegs)  go really well with the styling of my bike; they look so great!  Thank you.
