After all of the mods, additions, and upgrades over the last couple of months, I finally got out to get some pix of Blanche as we were out and about on this morning's Sunday morning ride.

great pics everyone. Im really tempted to switch to apes, but the hollywood bars are one of the things on the slim that make it a throw-back.

Was it a diffiult decision for you guys? What did you end up doing with the stock hollywood bars?

I would love to see a direct from the side shot, did the tank lift make a positive profile difference?

I got tired of my hands going numb from the pressure that was put on my wrists (carpal tunnel)...my left hand ring finger also would "lock". Since the switch almost 2 months ago, my hand issues are GONE. So it was a no-brainer for me.

As for the bars and risers, I sold em online.

I’ll get you one tonight. I think so, and I like being able to see the top of the rocker boxes. Also, the guage is higher and more in my line of sight.
