Holy crap! You didn't have to buy new cables? Thats the biggest expense of a handlebar swap. Plenty of cable then? What kind of re-routing?

Yeah, I was going to buy the bars first, then the cables, then pay for the labor. Bought the bars and starting looking at the cables on the bike and thought man... I can do this. You'll have to reroute the cables going through the triple trees/ forks and reroute them around the outside of the forks. You'll also need to lift the tank and move a couple of cables around (can't quite remember which ones but you'll know when you see them). You'll also need to disconnect the brake line from the bracket on the forks and bend the metal part of the brake line. I'm not much of a gear head so If I can do it anyone can!!!

Looks good dude. I was at the HD shop today and they had a Low on the floor. It a low-profile windshield on it. It looked pretty good. I'm not ordinarily a windshield fan but I liked the looks of that one. I love the two toned bikes.

I love the way those look. How do they sound. They are the q-series right? Compared to stock HD exhaust and compared to Screaming Eagle exhaust how loud are they?

Louder and deeper sounding than both to my ears. I was thinking of Side Shots till I heard them and I ride two up at times and didn't want the wife complaining about the loudness. Check them out on V&H web site. Bought them from North Coast Cycles on ebay. Think I paid 215.00 shipped. Bought the S.E. Starge 1 Air Cleaner also and I'm waiting to put that on after I save up for the Fuel Pak. I may add the H.D. Compact Windshield in the future also.
