Looking forward to some pix.
As soon as I can, I'll have taller bars put on this Heritage. Might go 14". Gotta do some measureing.

Do most people go with Wild One bars? I have Flanders bars on my Kawi and have been happy with 'em. The Wild Ones might have a better finish.

Man, I miss my apes. I have an old shoulder injury that will not let me leave my right arm in the air like that for more than about 20 minutes or I would still have them on my Springer. I envy you guys that have them.

I didn't think I would like the Mini Apes on the Softail Cross Bones when I first went in to check it out, but to my surprise when I got on the bike they were very comfortable. I really like the riding position and I don't find that my arms or back hurt at all.
