yep... just put the new bars on....
and i was going to sell the apes...
but the dealer seen the bike the week before... knew about them, and wanted them as part of the deal, in case the new prospective owner might not like the wide low bars...

Nice looking bike. I did the same thing, but missed the softail, so I was fortunate enough to have the best of both worlds. Maybe another will be in the cards for you down the road. Ride safe.
