A motorcycle is only original once.

In that pic they are 14", but I had 16" previously. I extended the wiring for the 16's, and reused it for the 14's. Both bars put my hands at the same height, but the 14's were a little flatter and narrower, felt better.

I miss the old girl. Motor went south, taking out the bottom end. Found a guy with a motor, and we decided he would buy the bike instead of me buying the motor.
