Default Black 1200N with black sideshots and drag bars... PICS! (no dialup warning...)

Finally got my Sideshots to fit. Was a major pain (wouldn't fit around the engine), but once I figured it out it was a piece of cake. Could do an install now no problem. I ended up putting the front pipe between my Jeep and its back bumper, and using it as a pipe bender to bend it out a little. Drag bars are 32" on the stock risers. My bars come about 1/4" from the tank at full lock, and all cables and wiring are fine. The front brake line has a bit more bend in it than it should, but I don't think it's going to hurt anything. Was going to relocate the power commander and ECU, and put a springer seat on that I ordered, but I gave up trying to relocate the ECU and cancelled my seat order. The paint I used on the air cleaner is Krylon Fusion Satin Black. I think that about covers it all... I remember before I bought them I was beating my head against a wall trying to get different angles of the pipes, specifically from the rear, so I included a buttload of pics for anybody that might have a specific angle they wanted to see.

looks awesome. I like your grips, What are they and do they absorb vibration very good? Those pipes are sick.
