One more down for the Chumps
Well, here's my new Chumps on my 1200C. saddleupmc has a post on these and after doing my research I decided to get them. They are perfect reach wise, and I can tell they're going to be much more comfortable on longer rides. I've only been on a short ride so far. I decided on black even though I originally had chrome. Here's one original picture and there different angles. One very subtle difference I didn't expect is the bike seems so much lighter than before, must be the extra leverage from the added height of the bars. Seems to ride so differently in a good way.

They look real good! I can tell you from personal experience that these buckhorn style bars make riding so much easier! Just did a 875 miles trip to Tail of the Dragon and surroundings this past weekend (thread with pictures coming up soon) and my hands weren't numb or hurting mainly due to the right handlebars.

Yes...sorry OP, was not my intention to hijack the thread...
To the OP, real nice bike. A good mix of black and chrome...nice contrast.

I'm thinking of swapping my bars to these Chumps too, also keeping the signal lights on the controls like you did. I also have a Custom with the same pullback riser... can you tell me how much extension you needed on the brake line and also the wiring and cables? It looks like it would be close to not needing any except for the brake line.
