Took about 16 hours and 30 pack of Coors light, I took my time to make sure I did it right.

Looks great!
Got them from Hill Country Customs, they are Drag Specialities 39.5" for both. $199 for all stainless steel cables on ebay HCC store. The picture still has the stock brake line which I have not changed yet.

Love them bars..deciding between 14" or 16"..was that 39˝" throttle set ? What length clutch cable ? interesting the you did'nt have to change the oem brake line out..on 16*s ?.I'm 6 foot...would be great if you could pop a pic in from the side with you sitting on your ride holdin the bars... just gives a better impression on how high they are...

thanks........ Rick

Your bike looks great! Nicely done......I am in the process of swapping out my bars and yeah, it is a big accomplishment!

Few suggestions....
1. Black out the triples trees, and lowers
2. Lose the turn signals or get a kit that mounts closer to the forks
3. Lose one mirror. Mount the other underneath the hand controls
4. Coors Light???? Really??? The reason you needed a 30 pack is because it is mostly water.

Clutch is 74", 39.5" throttle/idle you could go 38.5 if wanted, OEM Brake line is long enough other than I took it off 2 anchor points and it hangs freely, New Brake line is 54", 6" over stock, 8" Namz handlebar wire extension kit #300-245 from JP cycles website. When I get some daylight I will PM you a pic with me sitting on it, I'm 5'10.5", my hands are above the shoulders. Thanks to SC Longhair with his video and some tips and tips from others, this was fairly easy job.
