Default Got my new bars on

Went with the Krome Werks drag bars. the HD bars were about $80 compared to the $50 KW bars. install want very smoothly. only problem was routing the wireing on the bar. still have to clean it up a lil, but i love the new look.
Feels alot better then the stock bars.

Pics:



next on the list is a front and rear drop, chopped rear fender, side-mount tag with LED brake light.

over winter im stripping the bike, painting it flatblack with airbrushed skulls on the tank and getting some wire wheels for it.

Looks good, I am still stuck between mini apes and drag bars. I figure I will just wait until I make up my mind or next spring comes around before trying anything.

Looks great, drag bars make the big look longer. Apes make it look too small.
