Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks they are ******. They make nice looking bars but they pretty much said they didn't need my business without saying they didn't need my business. Good luck with the wiring junglejoe. Let us know how it turns out.

Sounds like Todd's will get my business when I decide to get some apes. Im big on companys with good customer service and, of course, quality product. I wouldnt want to deal with a company that doesnt stand behind their product or put the customer first. Especially with a product costing 3 bills...

Got any pics? I've got their 13" Fatbob bars and I'm curious how the taller ones look.

I wish! They are sitting on my bench right now waiting for my switches to come in so I can wire them (should be here today). My bike looks like it got parked in a bad part of town at the moment. No tank & no front end. How a bar swap has turned into completely redoing my front suspension and powder coating my trees and fork lowers still has me scratching my head, haha.

I'll post pics as soon as I get it all back together. Hopefully while I'm still young!!

Yeah I really wish I had had my trees coated when I had it apart the first time. Now if I want to do it, I gotta take the whole thing apart again. Probably a winter project. Lookin' forward to seeing those pics!

That's what I'm trying to avoid. I don't want to go through all this and wish I had done something while it was apart. I'll be happy if this bike turns out half as nice as yours and all of the others in this thread.

You guys definitely keep me going. Without these inspirations I would've scrapped this idea a long time ago.
