i love the look of the shift rod, but it's to long and he just kept lying to me of when he was going to ship it, even told me it had been through a couple of zip codes, when he didn't even drop it off to the post office till 7 days later. still hasn't emailed me to get it back

Well, got the figure for the estimate from the dealer... haven't seen the estimate yet, so I don't know how it all breaks down, but it's $1004.94. Pretty much what I had listed above. They loosened and adjusted the bars and believe them to be straight.

Hopefully they can get it all done and back to me before Christmas.

I appreciate that. I'm just letting her insurance take care of everything so if I feel it's not right I will take it back to make it right.

I think I'm going to have them swap the exhaust from the short shots to the pro pipe as long as they have it apart and pay the difference.

ain't much room under that fender for my monkey hands, with painting took about 45 mins. i put the fastening nuts from the fender to the bracket on the inside of the bracket. it's not flat, it's cupped, i guess so you can do so. it came with two different size rubber gaskets,one flat and one with a slant to lift the plate up a little higher which kinda defeats the purpose. had to get one, got tired of kicking the plate when throwing my leg over and bending it.

I'm starting to think about some apes, but I've never ridden a bike with them so I'm a little apprehensive. It seems like everyone who has them would never go back though, so maybe I should just take the plunge.

I'm 6'3" and it sounds like 16" would be a popular size for someone my height, but they look huge (but bad *** at the same time) when I look at pictures.
