Default Bones Apes

+1 for Road 6 Customs, good quality and good price! One suggestion, also include new risers in your budget. Stock risers suck and will eventually fail with new apes. I went with Wild 1 chubby risers, they are rock solid. Also installed Goontight bushings when I did the job, what a difference! All recommendations came from this sight, lots of good folks here with a wealth of info!

Are the Wild 1 Chubby risers rubber isolated like teh stock? I actually like the vibration isolation.

What exact p/n's did you use for teh risers and bushings?

Bike looks great man!

The Wild 1 risers are direct bolt ons. No isolator. I didn't notice that big of a difference when I switched over to them.

Man I wouldn't mind seeing pics of the Evil apes and chubby risers on the Crossbones, since I am thinking of doing the same thing.
