Thanks for all the compliments! It got a lot of attention at my local H/D shop yest as well.

The bars are from Hill Country Customs. I got the "kit" they offer that had the wire extensions,line and cables. The bars on it are different than the first set they sent me (bend,width). The first set had several bad spots on the powder-coat so they overnighted me another set. These are wider and look just like my buddy's Wild1 Chubbys. The powder-coat on these is perfect. I didn't want the turn signals up there so I made my own turn signal relocation mounts. (threaded studs lol)

I did have to buy new risers. I went to H/D and got a set of stock 1" risers and a one piece top clamp.
(Stock risers and bars are FOR SALE. PM me offers.) (Gotta keep the stock seat...wife loves it.)

Thanks again guys. I think it turned out great as well. I know the LO hasn't warmed up on everybody yet but I feel they have a ton of potential...Just gotta unbolt the stock off of it.
