i actually have a friend i ride with all the time that owns a shop. he charges me half price on labor charges, plus i help so it does'nt take so long. its more like renting the tools and space. last time i was there it was a 6 hour job that cost me 150 bucks...if i could find a set of bars that had that same forward convex like the Carlini Evil's, i'd go with them. Was gonna do it today but got cause up in other stuff, will go on monday
Nothing going on Monday Huh?

I got 16" Carlini Gangsters with 2" risers on my Deluxe and at 6'2 it's a little bit of a reach for me. If I had to do it again the 14's would probably be what I would choose.

bought the evil 14's, going to use my stock risers. what size cable kit do you think i should go with. i looked at the burly but the kits go with stock 2 inch risers and mine are 2 1/2.. think i should go with the 16 inch set for ABS or something different?
