Default So stoked - mod #2

Just got a package from FedEx. 14" gangster apes. I could have gone 16's but this will do.









Now just waiting for ups for my rear signals, spot light bar, spots n signals, lay down plate, cables and wiring.

I'm off tomorrow so looks like I'll be busy lol

hey Congrats Lonny, looks great.....one word of advice that I learned the hard way. When I did mine I wasn't thinking and forgot to tighten the riser bolts enough. I turned away for a second and the bars came rolling down and hit the tank. A couple of slight indentations on the tank from the bars but could have been worse.

I did the same thing; luckily it just scratched the paint I was going to redo anyway and didn't leave a dent...

Echo.....I had posted that at the risk of really sounding dumb but wanting to be helpful to Lonny. I'm glad that you posted a similar experience, Now I don't feel as bad.

Just put these on. No more wide signals

Honestly. I don't need another 2 inches riding wise. Would they look dope sure lol. I think the width on these are perfect. For me any wider would feel stretched
