Default Apes completed!!

Took 10 hours over three days (researching and not rushing) and about 100 or so dollars in extra parts since burly 16in set was off a bit. Feel really good with the money i save and i feel like i really was able to learn alot more with the bike and get a little bit more comfy with moddin it out by myself. Thanks for all the input fellas.

Jay

Looks great.
If you have access to a vacuum bleeder it will make quick work of those brakes.
I use a mighty vac available at most Auto Zones.
