1) Lancer- forgive me on the threadjack-
2) New2- see my sig for an idea of a single lamp on the fatbob, some more pics in my album.
3) Hope all is well with your wife and family.
4) That CSC headlight would look killer on your setup.

Default New Member New Mini Apes

New Member here. Was looking around for bikes like mine. Just had my mini apes put on last week. I haven't been able to ride it but 10 miles as the weather in Colorado has been bad lately, but like them so far. I've managed to do what I've done as money permits, I've powder coated the struct covers, battery cover, air cleaner, horn cover, turn signals, levers. looking arong for a solo seat next and then I've been eye balling the progressive 11" black shocks. Also, Stage 1, Black Big Radius. Would post a better pic but as I've said the weather has been bad.

I am in the process of installing wild1 572's(14" apes) on my fat bob. Hoping to have it done this next week. Once I finish that I'm putting 14" apes on my Ultra. Gonna be a busy couple of weeks.

I had put the smaller risers on but did not get the height I wanted so I went back to the stock, I'm 6'3". Here's more pics.
