Here are my 13" black apes. Be careful... once you start with the black thing it begins to spread to everything on your bike.

Good Luck !

That was my last Winter's project. Did Apes, Chrome Controls, SS Cables and Chrome Front End.

This year I'm doing a 95" upgrade and new CAMS.

It never ends...
