Btw I have the same bike and color and love mine! Congrats!

Thx. The Bassani slip on will take some getting used to if you are coming from a set of aftermarkets like I did, and may just be temporary (at least the stock set is gone!) I had V&H LongShots on my previous ride, and the Bassani's are a lot quieter at idle but when you crack the throttle...look out, they might even be as loud or louder when accelerating. They emit a nice deep throaty tone while at idle or at constant speed, reminding me of a nice Muscle car V8. Like the offset riser's, they are growing on me, but once V&H release something that fits other than Big Radius I will probably switch.
But when my bud cranked up his ride with big radius, I'll admit I was jealous.

I like the apes much better than the stock bars. But if it were mine, I'd get rid of the pull back risers and replace them with straight risers. I personally never liked the look of pull back risers with apes. But if you like it, it's cool.
