Well I got the bike back yesterday, and thought I would post a few pictures... a few winter mods that were completed were Heavy Breather, Chrome inner primary cover, and of course the Yaffe Apes, thanks to Dr. V Twin for their awesome customer service and great pricing! I will try to post more pictures when I get a minute or two.. let me know what you think!

Very nice! I want, no NEED to get a set of those. Are those the 12's? Did you order all the cables through DrVtwin too?

hey guys, thanks for the compliments, as for the apes, they were ordered as 12's but when I measured them they were 14's, which if you look at other posts on these bars that is a common practice with Yaffee. As for the wiring, I ordered that directly from Yaffee, and it comes as a complete set, called the "Supersize kit" and from what I was told from the tech at the dealer, it makes the job super easy! All cables are the correct length, and work perfectly! Not to mention that the kit includes all needed parts and attachments! As for the face plastics, do you mean the inner fairing? If so that was also done by the dealers painter. He matched the Crimson Sunglow PERFECTLY!
I really love my bike and it is coming together! Thanks again for your compliments!
-RJ

Looks great. Makes me want to swap out my 16" cyclesmiths. Those actually don't look that much shorter than mine. I wonder how yaffe measures his 12"
