Turned out lookin great. Of course I love the So Cal look too.
I haven't started mine. I got lazy thinking of all the little things needing done for the change.
I'm off this coming Fri for vacation and will start it then.
Thanks for the thread, helps get me motivated for mine.

That came out looking great. I am 5'9" and run 16"'s and have for a long time. If you are 5'10" (I forgot who was asking) consider 16"'s. It is easier and less expensive to switch to lower bars than to switch to taller ones. Take from me, I know as I started with 12.5"'s and then went to 16"'s.

I know, LoL. It's why I haven't gone out to the garage since my ride earlier.
