Default Apes are on !!!
Apes are finally on !!! used the Burly kit, poly bushings, everything learned by you fine people on this forum. 16" are friggen high !!! I really like them, but could see myself swapping to 14" by the end of the season...lol. Next up is a rear lowering kit and off with the saddlebags. Thanks to you all for giving me the courage to tackle this job with a buddy on my own. It took us about 5 1/2-6 hours. What do you all think?

The apes look good, but why is your license plate look so crooked? That would drive me nuts along with the dangling spark plug wire (I also have a red wire on my bike though it's not shown in the current signature photo).
