Default 12.5 Chubbys - Done
Finally friggin' done. I'll fill in the details and better pics some other day. To say this was an ordeal would be a massive understatement.

Those 12.5" Apes are just right for the Street Bob. Your bike looks great. The way a Bob should be, stripped down and black !!

I lost count at 20 hours in. Save putting on new grips and adjusting my idle/throttle cables, it was my first time doing any of the involved tasks.
