Hey Ridiculous, How do you like the set up? I'm about to order a package this week for my Bones only with black bars and black switches. Robert from Hill Country Custom Cycles told me I can use the stock switch housing. I hope this is correct, I would hate to have to get the housing separate or settle for the chrome ones. No offense to you chrome guys, my bike is black. I dont think the chrome would look too good. I'm looking forward to getting the apes from these guys. So far their customer service is top notch, they have answered every one of my stupid *** questions.

So I ordered my package today black bars internally wired, black switches, chrome switch housing, chrome cables, black levers. I had thought about it last night and this morning saw a bike in one of my mags a black bike with black bars and chrome switch housing it looked sick. So they should be here in 2 weeks. Just thought I'd give you guys an update.

Apes make any bike look better, but especially when you have a taller sissy bar. Been tossing around the idea of getting an attitude stick for my bike recently. I just hate the fact that I almost always hit it with my foot when dismounting.

I wouldn't touch it but that's just me. I'm not a fan of apes. I think your bike looks awesome how it is. I took the mini apes off my Custom asap.
