Default like the new bars (updated w/pics)

Took the bike home today from dealer with the new Wild-One 10" bars on it. Very comfortable and look awesome! Oh ya, the painted inner fairing rocks too!
It was 40 degrees out and sunny so I decided to ride it home.
First time with the motor work done too - and man does this scoot move out now!!! Freakin rocks! Very happy - loads of torque. Can't wait to get more miles on it and really let 'er rip!!!

You say it looks awesome...but since you're the only one that has seen it...I guess we'll just imagine what it might look like. Okay, here I go.............it's not working. [:@][:@]

Cool.

I'm thinking about apes on my road king.
I think if I do it I may go a little larger than 10".

How much comfort difference have you noticed already?

How soon till we get some pics!?!

Weather turned on us this afternoon. I was gonna get some for ya today, but I will have to wait for the next nice day. Sorry.

As for the bars - it brought my hands back probably 2 inches and up 2- just enough to sit back a little more in my seat. I don't feel like I am reaching anymore. It wasn't a lot, but just enough for me.

Ok - sorry for the poor quality, but the weather sucks and I didn't realize until I got back inside that I had the camera on the wrong freakin setting! Ugh!
