I like the red caliper. Maybe put a bit of red somewhere else on the bike (some red sparkplug leads etc), so it looks like part of a theme...?

Hey before you go buy bars, like the 10's. How tall are you? Reason I ask is I went 12's first then to 14's and I just added a three inch riser from a one inch one and I'm finally comfortable. I could have and should have went 16's first but I thought it would be to high.
But I'm 6'5 or 6'6 after a good stretch.. So save money look into different bars.
I saw a bar Mach up somewhere? At a dealership, it was set up to move controls and for bar height.. Look around ATL see if a dealer there can come close to your setup...

But those rims and that color scheme is sick.... Keep showing the progress..

Thanks for for the advice man, I'll look into places around, see if they have what you're talking about. I'm about 5'9, the stock apes are comfortable for me, and I believe they are 10" apes with 2" risers, so that would put me at 12" right now, the Biltwell stuff would get 10" risers and the bars are 3" rise, would put me at 13" overall. I think I'd be happier with that, but I'll search around a little first.

Depending on the riser you buy I have a dogbone top clamp that I'm not going to be using..
We could meet halfway and you can have it. Never used.
