Default Project apes finally done (pic)

Well after many questions and helpfull hints on here (Thanks to those). I Was able to finish it and feel proud that I didnt pay someone to do it. The biggest problem I had was the chrome on bars were to thick which led me to believe it was the throttle/idle cables, and it was a B..tch to take out that retainning clip on Clutch.
Waitting on Fork clamps for Turn signals and I might get 2" risers later to make it 16"?
