I don't like ape's, so these are 0" rise with a 9" pullback. I sit more comfortable on the back, and not bent over so. Can't wait for spring!

Here's a few pics.

I really like those handlebars! Mind sharing how much they cost and the contact info of the fabricator? If you would rather you can send me an IM.

Thanks

Looks great! I'm extremely curious to see how it looks like with the chrome swingarm on.

Did you guys with the Shotgun Shocks need to change your kick stands?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing it chromed too! That's one thing that even the CVO's I've seen don't have chromed. I went all black once on a WideGlide (pictures in album on my page) but I decided I liked chrome better.

You're right, CVOs don't have it chromed, they don't even have the inner primary cover chromed. I planned to have the swingarm chromed too, I had it on my Street Bob and really liked the look. I already bought the OEM chrome inner primary cover 60815-08A and I'll mount all these parts together. Probably I'll also add the chrome left cylinder base cover 32042-07 to complete the left side. BroTim, since you'll have the swingarm chromed and already have chrome fork sliders, are you also willing to swap the brake calipers with chrome ones too? I'll do that, I already have them from previous bike and I'll mount them on BO.
