Thumbs up The knucks are on!

Got the WO503 knuckle bars and 1.5 risers on last night. Next on the list is a 21" wheel...

HUGE THANKS to BLKnCHRME09Deluxe for all the help with my stupid questions!

I've angled the bars down a little more since I took these pics last night...I'll try to get some better pics uploaded soon. (and yes...I know, my garage is a mess right now!)

Nice choice and at least you have a garage! Mine lives outside.

Like those bars! Did you do the internal wiring? If so, any problems? I am putting a set of WO518's on my FLSTF in the next few weeks and will be looking for free advice.

Nice. I am digging the black and chrome contrast.

Thanks - the toughest part was getting the tank off. Once I was clued into the whole "quick release" valve, the rest was a snap. But I took my time, soldered and heat shrink wrapped all the wires, tie wrapped it all back into place...kept it clean. I'm loving the turn out - the bars are exactly the position I was hoping for and the look is definitely in-line with the direction I want to go. I desperately need to get that 21 on the front though - after that I'm gonna switch out the exhaust. I don't think I'll go as long as the cholos, but definitely feelin' some fishtails...
