I have a Heritage and chrome is my middle name so blacking one out isn't for me. I must say, though, your bike looks great. Like the new bars.

I lived in Houston from '87 to '96 and then moved to central Texas. I am an Army civilian working at Ft. Hood. I live 70 miles west of there and make the 140 mile round trip commute 5 days a week.

Are you active or retired Marine Corps? Semper Fi !

Awesome. I'm doing the same. What size cables did you end up ordering? I'm doing this myself and I'm looking for any pointers. Thanks.

I didn't retire. Did my four and enjoyed it but wanted to get back close to home/family.

I think I remember my Indy saying they were +4. I wouldn't order cables until you have the bar in hand and can put it in the risers. Each bar is different.

Thanks for all the compliments fellas. I'm really lovin' this bike. I gotta be careful not to upset my lady by doin' to much at one time but she was on board with this mod as one of her friends said I looked gay with the old bars since they came so far back!
