Awesome!!
Do they come back to you or do you have to lean up to them to get em', or is that how they're supposed to be?
The first pic looks like the bars are more upright than in the second pic w/teh shield of which they look like they are more laid back.
Are they comfortable?
What kind of handlebars?
How much did the cables set you back?
Did you do the work yourself?
Again, looks great!!

Love apes, gonna do my heritage eventually. My opinion is that i think they look better when they are tilted to the same degree as the front forks. Dont really care for the way apes look rocked forward like that.

so far, I like the bars more forward. I can't use the windshield now but don't think I want to any way. I am going to Daytona for Biketober fest, so I'll finds out how the ride is. So far so good. One thing though. The bars are not stiff on the risers. I mean the bushings allow some flex where they mount to the triple trees. Is this normal?

These are new poly bushings. It doesn't vibrate a speed, I can just wiggle the bars front to back. No side to side. I was told that I would want this b/c the vibration of stiff bars will put your arms to sleep
