You have been doing some serious ball cupping lol.

I always thought something like mreed's style 2 into 1 Laker header would fit in nicely with this style. In fact if there was anything I disliked it was always how plain the exhaust looked on those CO bikes.

You can't slide the flanges up from the bottom of those pipes. You have to slip them on then install the ring clip.

What are you looking for in heighth & width of bars? Do you want straight up or pushed forward a little? Are you planning on using the stock handlebar switches? I mean, just out curiosity & all.

yeah never had to install my own flanges so thx mike. i was thinking maybe 8" high, stock switches will be used (might move them eventually). i'd like the top part of the bar to angle back slightly so i'm not reachin too far.

If they come straight out of the risers, especially at 8" high, they'll be further back than your bars are now. Most guys build an angle in the uprights to put the bars vertically above the top tree instead of above the tank...where they would be if they were straight out of the tree.

The pipes look badass to me, but FYI man if you don't have experience with those off the shelf auto part store chromed tips, the chrome is **** and will corrode something fierce unless you stay on top of em. I'd consider ceramic coating, grill paint, header wrap or something to keep em lookin decent.

Work that shaft man...lol.

well if i go with attack bars they'll be mounted to my top clamp with the orig. risers. if i go with tbars i'd want them to come straight up out of the trees.

i'll take it where i want it there young grasshopper....just kiddin'. i dont know man i'm torn with the bars, i love those keystones. the pipes, theyre next on the list. thanks for the comments. i posted a pic of them a page or so back.

well guys i bent the rear seat tab, lowered the fender tremendously and i removed a bunch of washers that were spacing it out away from the rear of the seat. i might need to add one or two more though and if i crank it down, i get no movement side to side so i might just bag the whole machined spacer deal all together. gonna take it out for a spin tomorrow when i get home from work, flyers are on right now and we're about to sweep those pu$$y *** penguins.
