dont waste your money on the burley cable kit. my clutch cable was jerkey, throttle cables were too long, clutch was a little short a long with the brake cable. all in all its just a cheap crapy kit

Thanks for the advice! I think I will just measure and buy the appropriate Motion Pro cables or another reputable brand. Anyone have anything bad to say about the bars?

That sucks...I have not had any problems with mine. I have the 14" 1 1/4" apes from Santee in gloss black. The powder coat is shiny and smooth. I have not had any issues with them.

I never said I was going with black! Some people like a little chrome on their rides
