I ordered PY racing levers. Still waiting on them as well. They want your old levers as well. Thought that was odd when you are paying $150 for a set of levers. I was going to order his axle, I wonder how long I will have to want for that? Where is the best place to find a deal?

I would try Dr. V Twin, I feel after my recent dealings with them, their Customer Service is top notch! Ask them Eric. I got to look at those... as for the PY levers, that sounds very strange....

+1. That's exactly what I did. I wanted my hands near or just below the fairing top and from what I have read that is where the 10's are. I also just looked at a number of pictures that everyone has on the forum + not having to order any extra wires and said screw it--10's it is.

Believe me, I know it looks cool, but I have 2 questions:
do you guys ride distance (100-500) miles? if so, how do they feel then?
How is the turning radius? Do you feel a loss of control in the parking lots? Is it really that bad?
The reason i asked these questions is because when I bought my fxr, i went straight to apes. i only went to 10-12 but they looked cool. My dad acted like he was going to kill himself riding it and i had no problems. I even rode it to GA from MD with the apes and i was just fine. Would this be any different on a bagger?
Do you feel any certain way about moving your hands above the protection of the fairing to the wide open air?
Im almost 28 and I think this looks cool as hell but i dont want to sacrifice comfort for looks and be dissapointed in the long run. 2oo is a little costly for bars, especially when i have to purchase new cables as well. Speaking of which, how much did new cables, if any, cost you guys.
