Bike looks REAL good.
I still have the stock bars on my superglide and have been thinking of adding some taller ones. Feel free to send me your stock bars after you get the new ones installed.

Your new headlight definitely adds something to the looks of your bike. It will be interesting to see what it looks like with the 16" chubbies on it. Are you getting the stainless cables to go with it?

Yes I am going to get the coated stainless and also going to do internal wiring. Instead of adding to the length of the wires, I orders chrome switches with 48" leads. That way I should have no problems with wire inside of bars. I think the chrome switches with the black housings will look good. At least I hope they will.

I also think that the chrome switches with the black housing should add to the looks of the bars. Awhile back, I had 16" chubies from wild 1 put on my Springer. They were also set up for internal wiring and I really like how they look and how they feel. I am 6' and when seated on my bike, the bars come up to just a little above my shoulders. It took a little to get used to them, but I think that they add a little of that old school look to a bike. Hope that yours looks great and that you are happy with them.

Thanks SPRINGER
I will post pics when I get them on. It will be a couple of weeks. Need a couple more checks so I can get the cables. Have the bars and switches, just need the rest. Switches and wires weren't cheap.

I don't think that anything is cheap on a Harley, is it?

Some of the women on the back of the bike might be cheap but that is about it. Just Kidding

Thanks, but I think I will be holding onto the bars for a little while.

I decided to go with the chrome switch caps with the stock black housing and I think it looks pretty good. I also added the chrome brake pad pins and hardware on the standard black brake calipers and they look pretty good as well. Its a good way to give it a new look without breaking the bank. I'll include a few pics to give ya an idea of the look.
