RE: Thoughts on new Mini apes
I did extend the cables and I went with the braided cables. Took the bike on a 200 mile round trip sunday and there was a good variation in my ability to adjust riding position if the skinny butt I have attached to my backside got sleepy or numb. I think this mod is one of the best things for me.
I put my sundowner seat back on today and was not impressed with it once again. I just like the lower style that the stock seat has.
I had posted pics on another thread but I will get some better outside pics when the rain lets up down here in Lower Bama.
On a side note I looked up the part number of the bars in the parts book and they were listed under multi-fit part # 56563-95 8 3/4" rise and then add the 4" riser on the custom for a total of 12 3/4" bar. Just right for me and just barely under shoulder height when slumped over in my casual bad posture position.
Also bought new bling,bling saturday---2 short stem "Live to Ride" mirrors.
Now I have a 50th sportster derby cover,50th sportster timing cover,"L to Ride" gas cap,"Live to Ride" air breather insert,"L to R" mirrors All bling bling in gold script
Messed with some real fire licks with the airbrush gun this week on a yellow panel and I have decided to add yellow/yellow white Ghost flames to the factory yellow pearl paint in a couple months.
