With the way the crossbones sits, how do you like the ride with the lower handlebars? How's it affect it compared to the mini apes it comes stock with?

btw- great looking bike

Great job!

Thanks guys.

@ Five7Hemi, I like the ride with the lower handlebars but the apes are more comfy, saturday I was for about 4 hours on the bike and no pain or sweat. I now have to reach further than the stock bars. I'm 6'1".

@ Skeezmachine, the bars are from Cycle Jammer Products, 36" wide. my HD dealer ordered the bars for me, the bars are in Custom Chrome(the thick book), number from the bars I have is 632366. When you search on the net for ''632366 Jammer'' you found some. Here is a link I found.

@ Brettnbama, not sure what the name is but is that very big horn, here is a link from ebay, think this is the same I have, only I have the cover powder coated and put a decal on it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-CHROME-L...#ht_500wt_1156

Nice job Dutch...

What did you do for the battery cover under the seat... Is that the original one cut? do you have a close up pic of it? I relocated my ECM and looking on a way to change my cover also,,,

Thanks Damion, I had cut and bend the original cover, but it look like crap. It is temporary, I had met a guy who is a leather artist and he had a piece of leather from the dash to under the seat, looks great. He is going to make one for me but I have to make an appointment with the guy. My ECM is under the seat, I found a less high battery (about an inch) and that works for me.

True, the tan will become more brown once they bake on. And it does look much better once the color darkens. The tan is what I have on my bike.

@ Iceman68, yes it's from Moon, the Point cover is also from Moon, think they look great.
@ jharanin, thanks for the tip, those are Hollywood bars.
