Finally got it all together. The bars came in taller than I expected (apes), but now that I've ridden em, I love em.

Are those the CVO risers? If so, I'm jealous. I'm still waiting for part of mine. Bike looks great with the apes.

I gotta believe that's the $400 kit from HD. 24v, it looks like you should've just gone that route but it sounds like you're getting along just fine without.

Yeah, I should have bought the kit, then sold the bars that come with it. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20 right? I am getting used to the slow *** moco. Ordered the Blackline console parts 2 weeks ago, still waiting.

Yep, they did use the short CVO risers. I also got the FXDWD quick disconnect windshield which is obviously not in the picture. The windshield is small and doesn't mess up the aesthetics any. A leather bag that mounts on it fits nicely between the handlebars just above the indicator lights. This not only adds convenient eyeglass /goggle/ glove storage but fills in the gap between the bars in a visually pleasing manner. I got the QD windshield thinking it would be good to slap on just for longer trips in our cooler Canadian climate but, now that I've seen it, I don't think it will ever be coming off. It looks that good.

Mine only arrived late last week. They had been on back order 5 weeks. Everything else I ordered, the dealer either had on hand or obtained within a day or two. The bars / risers were the holdup. Hopefully the backlog is shrinking and you'll have yours soon.
