I can understand that it gives it a more "custom look".. but I like the bike handling the best it possibly can.. maybe when im 40 ill put some apes on my bike. PLUS! its alot easier to wheelie with the stock bars..

anything is better than those apes that were on it..but I can't really tell what it looks like now, the pics are funky. post some further away shots..initially it looks like you need more riser height and maybe roll the bars back a lil bit..but like I said looks alot better than before..like the tank lift too, never considered doing one but may look into it.

Looks good but is kind of hard to tell the bars from the pic angle.
