Default 14" Hill Country Custom Apes Installed.

Well it took a little while, but it's finally done. Had a few pinched wires and a broken solder that had to be fixed, but it's good to go now. Looks better and the height is just right. I'm glad I went with the 14"s instead of 16"s.

Nice, the squared up bars go great with the dual head lights.

Not to shabby. I like my 16's. They seem a bit to tall for most people but most people arnt 6'2" with ape arms. I always get that question of "isnt that uncomfotable". I tell tham its night and day difference from the stock 10's. The tens killed my wrists and hands. I had pointer finger and wrist's aches or months after I switched to the 16's. That has now passed because the 16's have a straighter handle. I think that bars are more about comfort that looks. If you put on a set of 20's because they look cool but you cant make it 100 miles down the road, than you have just put that bike into the class of a barhopper. I you got the money to have 2 bikes, so be it. But I like mine with personality and rideability, just like yours. Good choice on the bars pimp.

Looks Great!! I just purchased a '11 street bob. My first "real" bike. I really need taller bars. I've been looking for a couple months now. Those look perfect. What model are those bars? What do you need for cables, wires, extra stuff?

Looks good, though my preference is a bit more conservative, I like what you took off (sorry...lol)! Btw... sweet carport.
