RE: MY APE INSTALL

I'll agree with the rest. OUTSTANDING POST!

Changing my bars in two weeks and this will definitely help.

Thanks for taking the time to give the details and the pics.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. It's nice to give back because I've taken a ton of information from this website. It's a pay it forward thing in my mind!

Great job. I hope I can find this again when I tackle the job come summer time. Looking forward to some real apes on the bob. Enjoy the ride.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to riding again as well. Spring will be here soon enough, although the weather outside is about as far from spring as it can get.

I guess if I helped out even 1 person it was worth it!

I'm still waiting on that darn clutch cable and the dealer told me it would be the end of march to get one, and I quickly said [sm=bs.gif]! He's looking elsewhere to speed things up.

Thanks guys

RE: MY APE INSTALL

If you are using string, try adding a weight (fishing line sinker, splitshots, etc) to the end. The weight will help get it through.

RE: MY APE INSTALL

Great idea with the oil can. I picked one up this afternoon. 20X better than that bottle thing I had rigged up. And much cheaper than anything else. I found a syringe-type MC bleeder in the back of the Custom Chrome catalog. They wanted $30 for it. Pass. Got the oil can and hose for under $9.

So you've helped at least two people now.
