Finally got all the parts together, the new bars on, all the wires rerun and a few long rides to see if anything would fall off. Nothing did...

Here they are.

You must be pretty big if your hands are at shoulder level with those bars.
Did you notice much difference in the torque at "low" rpm's with that exhaust set up?

Bradley, they are 16"s. I was gonna change to 18 but I called the day after they went to powder coating.

flea, they are actually an inch or two above sholder level. Real comfortable so far though.

I never rode the bike without the Thunderheader but I have a SERT and the new intake and it pulls pretty good.
