I was looking at Vindikta, emailed and asked a few questions and he could modify them however I wanted. If you go with something he stocks it would be quick if not he told me he sends stuff to the powder coater every 2 weeks so I would be looking at at least 3 weeks.
Going to put my stock bars on to see what adjustments I want before I order. I have always had drag bars on my Bob.

I was also looking at Licks. Not sure on wiring and stuff I have seen a few write ups on here, maybe they will add something.

So I got a B-day coming up and am going to use that as an excuse to get some apes. I like the Carlini Pist style, as well as Roland Sands Vintage look. What I dont like about them is the price. Have you all come across any apes that are similiar in style, but at a lower price? I dont need top quality stuff, but dont want bottom of the rung either. Any thoughts appreciated!

Could any of you tell me if the top pieces of my stock risers will fit into other aftermarket risers? I want to go with smaller risers, but am unclear on weather or not I can use any of my stock pieces.

Well I just ordered some Diablo 14" ape hangers, also some 1" risers. I read all the posts about cable lengths, am I am still unsure to say the least. I think I will be safe ordering a 14" cable kit, was thinking about going with the Burley kit unless any of you have any other suggestions.
