Hey bro. Yeah I was tired of the grits. Too heavy and wonky on the slab. The whisky throttle takes like 15 minutes to install and Everything fit the stock cables. They also make a 1 cable throttle now which is cool. Here's a link:

I had a weld in bung welded in to increase my range and for the spinner cap. Then I sprayed with self etching satin black primer. I really love Hot Rods and take most of my inspiration from Ol Skool Rods, Car Kulture Deluxe, Fuel Magazine, Deadbeat Magazine and Milkcow Magazine, not really Bike mags, the choppers being built now are too flashy for me.

The blanket started stretching a bit so I just removed it. Imagine how cool it'll look now with the black tins.

My V&H Comp Series is at my dad's and I'm fitting them with the bronze wraps, then a dyno and then I'm done.

Hey, you think I should fit mids? I got some take offs off eBay.

Thanks for the input. Btw I DIG your bars. Nice for lane splitting.

I really them. I had thought about those bars but without seeing them on a bike I was unsure. Now I'll have to take a closer look.

Looks like you wired them internally (from the pic anyway). Did they come from biltwell drilled for internal wiring? If so I may have to get me some nice chrome ones.

*EDIT* Looks like they are getting rid of the Aces bar and I dont see anything in chrome on their site. Too bad

Yeah it was a limited run. Wes White designed the bars and Biltwell manufactured.

My dad and I drilled them, wasn't so hardn. They aren't dimpled to if you don't wire them internally you'd have to shave the pods some.

Because of the way I mounted them its a nice aggressive position. I really get to lean a bit. They handle very well.
