I ordered them PCd black from ghost rider customs... It is the only thing I am waiting on to get my bike back together. I would just throw on another set, but I have a softy custom as well, so it's not like I can't ride

Another snag... Went to button up a few odds and ends this morning... Put a new Barnett HE stealth clutch cable on when I had it apart, so I just went to adjust the play out of the cable, and there are not enough threads in the adjustment housing to get it tight. If I do get it tight enough, the threads are no longer engaged, obviously leaving nothing for the lock nut to lock in place!
Called Dennis Kirk where I ordered it from, and although the lady was nice, she said I would have to speak to techs who work during the week only... I said, I know HOW it works, but this cable doesn't work! Anyway, should be an easy fix as soon as I talk to them on Monday.
Does anyone know how long the threads are supposed to be?

Well I was home this past week and got the bike back together. I put Ricor Intemadators and progressive drop in lowering springs. Dropped it 1.5". I got the new 14" LA chopper apes on and all the new cables run. Only snag was the damn
brake line is too short. I ordered the HD Diamondblack upper brake line for 14-16" apes. Wrong! Damn line is only 34" and I need at least 44" from my measurements. So I am going to order a 44" universal black pearl brake line from Magnumsheilding along with a 35 deg and straight 7/16 banjo fittings. I hope I get it right this time as I don't want to mess around next time I am home. It's time to ride. Any of you guys with ABS and apes let me know if I am about to screw up again. I will post some pics later.

The 2012 bars did make a difference they gave me some more pullback and rise over the 2011 bars. I liked them but I decided that I wanted to go with the apes. I still have them and a longer 2012 upper abs brake line as well as a 34" diamondblack Hd brake line. Pm me if interested in them.
