Pretty much finished up the ape install.
Took way to long waiting on parts and the time to do the work.
Got the new risers, splurged and got the Harley chrome master cylinder kit, levers and switch housings. Figured since I had it apart might as well do it right.
All I really have left to do is bleed the front brake.
I'll get her outside tomorrow and get some better pics.
I have not started it yet, no gas, but all the lights and stuff seem to be working.

Couple more pics.
That's it for now.
BTW, wanted to thank Santo for the great deal on the cables and Drew for the great support with parts and help on the install.

Can you still use the windshield with that set up or not? Sounds like you kinda like that.

Great job FREEFALL. Bike looks kicka$$ and you did a heck of a job with all the pics and descriptions of your work. I know I and probably a bunch of others appreciate your time and efforts on your new ape install. Congrats!!
Thanks much.
Slow steady progress.

Thanks about it for now.
Still waiting on my risers to arrive.
I should have everything to complete the project once my risers show up.
BTW, I did get a new camera a couple weeks ago and still experimenting with the settings. Cannon T1i
