Default New Bars On The Bones

Just put new 16" Apes and lowered the seat with 2" springs.

Taller apes are a must in a Bones, nice choice. Personally I´d have gone with the "traditional" gimps, but those look nice too,

Enjoy ´em,

Mimo.

Thanks. I was thinking of the Gimps but I liked the way these flowed with the springer front end just as wide coming off of the risers.

Damn I love that bike.

I think that bike with the same size rear wheel as the front and a Heartland Kit with ashortfender would look kick ***.

Not a big fan of those type of apes, but it looks pretty sweet on the bones. Good job!

Those look bad@ss! I have the same style for my Bones, but I had minewidened by a couple inches, so it took over a month to get them. I also went with 4" risers. I am at Randolph AFB until Friday, so I can't wait to get back and slap mine on!

Cool look with the bars, but your cables look a little tight. You might want to consider some longer ones.
