the sucky part is I bought new grips and the left one glued on...
I actually thought ridin with em was awesome, but , I installed a 2" speedo(see sig pix) and it just looks wrong sitting between the apes...I am looking at a mount for the speedo that goes on the rocker box cover.. If it works out I will reinstall the apes.
Yes I feel more in control with the bad boy bars but the apes have a much cooler feel!

Yea, I drilled the bars and ran the wires inside them....It was a pain, but well worth the work. I went with the Magnum Polished Stainless steel cables as well. I'm 6'3" with a back back, so the handlebars were essential, and will probably be the best modification I'll ever do.
