Default Burly Brand installed ;)

Finally got my bike back today. Rode it home in 18 degree weather! Bars felt nice but couldn't feel my fingers when i got home! I bought these Burlys from a friend who had them on a 2009. No problem going on my 2006!
I got a few pics, it was too cold in my garage.

What size are the bars and how tall are you or better yet, what your arm reach (shoulder to wrist)? I'm pulling the trigger in a few weeks at Bike week in Daytona on a set of apes. Still doing my homework on the right height.

I have no idea what brand cables they are. My buddy ordered the cables. I just took the bike to him.

I'm 6'1. Shoulder to wrist is roughly 22'..Way better than stock bars IMO.

He said it was very easy. Didn't run into any problems as far as i know. You can put a newer model bar on an older bike, but can't put an older model bar on a newer bike. Worked out great for me.
