Love the look of your bike! If I were at your point of customization I would try and find some LED light strips that you could tie in. Hidden until needed! The slim is a great bike to start a honest bobber project! That's why i bought mine!

Just finished installing these Arlen Ness 10" mini apes.. went for a cruise and I love 'em so far. Also installed a Baron Bullet Tach and replaced all cables with Magnum Sterling Chromite II's.

Bit of a job lengthening wiring harnesses and hooking up the clutch cable and all that but there are litsa good vid of out there. What do you think?

Do any of you guys who have switched to apes have your stock cables you want to get rid of? I have 14" bars on mine right now and want to get rid of them and go to a 10" bar. My cables are a little longer than i'd like as it is, and stock should work for 10" bars from what im reading.

Anyone else have an issue w/the clutch cable rubbing the tank or fork covers? I’ve tried additional clamps & rerouting the cable but still can’t seen to keep it from rubbing. My cable is a definitely little longer than it needs to be though.
