Those bars on your bike are insane. I picture you coming down the road with one hand on the throttle, and one hand on a double bladed axe!!! Modern day-dark age warrior! Very nice! I love the character and boldness man!

Alain, those bars are bad *** my friend. I assume those are BR Custom bars made by the ever so famous Bill, correct? I remember last year when you started talking about getting a set of BR bars....great choice. Anyways, you have to post pics when you get it all bolted back together!!

I should be starting my ape project as soon as I finish up my GD honey-do list! She buys me the apes for x-mas, then dumps a boat load of winter house work on me that I have to finish first before I can start the install and not be bugged. I guess its a pretty decent trade-off.

Lookin forward ti the finished pics bro!
thanks for the compliment my friend. sounds like yer old lady tricked ya by getting you some bars and then blind siding you with the house work. lol, like you said it's a good trade off.

thank you sir and yes, they are BR Custom bars, Bill is one, if not THE BEST, vendor i've ever dealt with. guy is top notch and so is his product.
I remember last year I read one of your posts saying that you had previous experience with Bill and knew him personally. the next day i went and placed my order...... so glad i did.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts after you have driven it. Talk about night and day difference. LOL. There is nothing like having a bad *** set of apes. Wait until people get a load of those bars at the local bike bars/events.
