Some pictures of me swapping out my mini apes for drag bars.

Bike as I bought it in Sept 10.




Inspection cover removed


Removing lock nut


Pulling out Ramp assembly


I had the bike jacked to keep straight, I thought there would be a lot more fluid coming out of the inspection cover.

 

 

I had pulled on the air filter (fortunately not forcing) not realizing there were 2 more bolts under the rubber spacer

 

The Breather screws took a little more force than I thought they would take at first






Getting ready to remove the tank

 

Brass tube came out of the Fuel cut off switch, this was not expected

 

Got a tip from local Bike Shop saying to loosen banjo bolt while bar is still tight. Good tip!






Stripped allen screw

 

Busted eay out, should've been more patient and gone with a much bigger easy out




After a lot of drilling and beating on the busted easy out I took off the riser with the bar attached and took to "Pete G's Chopper Design" in Longwood Florida for help taking the stripped allen out.
Great bunch of guys!

Comfortable riding position

 

Looks much better this way. Apes and the those "C" stock risers just don't match, and it looks ridiculous. It looks much better now! The risers actually seem to compliment the drag bars. I never did like those risers much, but, they do look good with those bars on!!
