Yeah no kidding... I apologize for the lack of modification ****.. but with my job and lack of cash flow, makes it kinda hard to get **** done. My next step is definitely bars... the damn stock buckhorns kill my wrists.

Well the time has come! At this moment the tank, fenders, seat, bars, and forward controls are taken off! The tank and fenders are awaiting paint prep, new bars, seat, pegs, and grips will be ordered this week! I'm definitely going to get some wild 1 chubby outlawz, but I can't decide if I want 10" or if the 12" will be above my shoulders or not at 6'1". I want the 12", but I don't want a ticket every time I ride. Seat will most likely be a c&c squareback, pegs are just gonna be black knurled from JP, she's getting satin black paint, and RSD brass grips.... Also gonna follow thru with wrapping the exhaust black. I'll upload pics when everything comes in. If anyone has some parts advice it's always welcomed.

If you are 6'1", with the 12" bars, your arms will not be above your shoulders. I am 5' 10" and mine are about even with my shoulders. But great bars!
