Thanks guys! There are some sick bikes on here so to be mentioned as on of the top is an honor!

Well, long story short if you want that setup you have to build it. These bars started off as Carlini Flying Apes but we heavily modified them. They were cut down width wise, for the throttle an Exile Internal throttle was welded in, and the front master cylinder is a PM master with a cut down shorty lever. The button side we cut out a 2.5"x1" piece of the round bar so a piece of flat could be welded in place so the buttons would have a flat surface to thread into. I detailed a little more of it and posted a few bar pics in the Build thread I had going. Bars were chrome from Carlini, we beadblasted to get all off for welding, powdercoated to see what black looked like (and just so they weren't bare metal), then beadblasted and rechromed for the final look.

Doesn't look much like a Heritage any longer, but it does look very good.

If that were my bike, I'd be scared to ride it, the slightest bit of road debris, tar, etc, would **** me off to no end.
But, since it's your bike-I'd be glad to take it for a spin!
