I finally got my mini apes installed. I got the HCC kit with 13 inch Cycle Smith bars. It took my about 30 hrs., but I learned a lot along the way. I think if I did it again it would take 10 to 12 hours. The hardest part for me was figuring out the wiring, pulling the wires went well. Anyway all in all I am happy I did it. The bars are great by the way, once I got them adjusted just right. I still have to take off the fairing mirrors, will do that when I get the hole plugs.

 

Great job Lock. I did the same on a RK I used to have. It feels good to do the work yourself..and as you said you learn a lot. Extending and pulling wires was a first for me. I really like the black bars. I've been thinking about doing same on my new bike. By the way..who's bars and what size are they? Thanks for sharing

 

Sorry just read about the HCC and 13...again great job

 

Looks good. Like the black..

 

Looks good.

 

I love my Cyclesmiths, great choice! What mirrors are those? Arlen Ness Mini Ovals?

 

Yep, Arlen Ness Mini's. I like the looks and even tho they are small they have great rear view.

 

They look great, I was contemplating buying some, after seeing them installed on yours I may just pull the trigger and get some.

Again, great job on the bars.

 

what are you doing about the fairing mount mirrors? Looks Great BTW

 

Nice! Good job. Gotta love the Cyclesmiths
