Just finished rewiring new chrome switch housings, installing Carlini Lowdowns, vintage grips, and V&H 2-1 BR. Real happy with the way it turned out. I enjoy seeing what others are doing to their bikes, so I figured I'd show it off a little. Also, I have a couple really nice sets of bars for sale in the Softail classifieds that will fit any bike with 3.5" riser spacing. One 10" T-bar and one 10" Mid Club w/Avon air grips - excellent condition.

Here is curent setup. Oh yeah - for the Harley haters that like to cruise the internet, the oil spot in one pic is not from the bike.

Thanks - cheapest part I think I've put on my bike ($20), but I really like them. Pretty comfortable too.

Thanks guys. Gotta admit I was thinking about apes for awhile - think they just look right on Fatboys, but I like the low look of drag bars. Plus, I didn't have to buy all the longer cables, risers etc., and I got a helluva deal on the Carlini's here on the forum.
