Default New Apes Installed (Almost)

My mechanic got the new Santee 11" apes on today, had to go try them for size before he buttoned the fairing back up. Feel really nice, no more stretching for the bars. I took a few crappy cell phone pics, will post better pics when I get it home and cleaned up.

Old Curly is one of the best wrenches I've ever used. Works out of a place called The Shop in Yukon Ok. Good people.
