Default Going ape!
Got the braided stainless steel clutch cable installed, pipes reinstalled and trans fluid changed. 2" DK Custom tank lift installed. Cut and shrink wrapped the OEM front turn signals/wires. Chrome switch covers and housings installed along with stainless steel throttle and idle cables. Tomorrow I will wire the bars and install cables. Still waiting on the 2" chrome risers, then on to installing chrome clutch perch, chrome brake & master cylinder and stainless brake line. Should be done by next weekend (gotta work Wed-Fri)...

14" El Diablo. Went with them because theyre cheaper and not too tall as the 16" RSD, wider at the base than Santee Fat Bars (and in stock), cheaper and (I think) better profile than Carlini. Of those three bars, i think i made the best choice for me.

I am not patient enough to be down for that long. I have to save the money, order everything at the same time and get it on there the same day. Other wise I just freak out! Haha. My last bike I put apes on, the cables showed up so I started installing assuming my bars would be there the next day. Then I got an email saying the bars got back ordered. .... I rode with stock bars and long as **** cables for a week! Lol
