ya know, the guy I got the bars from said he has a friend that does powdercoating and I could get my covers all done for about 100..... I wish he hadnt told me that because I got the itch.... That itch where you want to go start pullin parts off and getting them done.... I love the bike the way it is, so why cant I help but want to change everything?

Will we ever be done modding our bikes???

Nice bars J!

Haha, I thought I was done too. Joining this forum is the most expensive thing I've ever done, and I've been married and divorced! Lol

And stay away from those NT guys, they're the worst!

Are you gonna wire those bars internally? It doesn't look like your current bars are internally wired. If not, it'll be cake. If you do plan to go ahead and internally wire those new bars, you got some adventure awaiting you, bro! Make sure you close your garage door and windows so the neighbor kids can't hear you cussin' and throwin' ****...

First post guys...been away from Harleys for awhile but I'm back now...please tell me why there's a desire for ape hangers ? Seems as though a lot of bikes have them now as opposed to 1 or 2 ' back in the day ' . Just asking...
