How long they been on order? They do take a while, mine were about 8 weeks, but well worth the wait.

Just installed a set of sweeping beaters and matching meat hook bag/engine guards. really, really nice bars. I wanted bars that came close the the Wild 1 577 I had (rise and pull back). True custom bars, built to your specs. Expensive yes, but you get what you pay for in my opinion

Those look friggin outstanding! I too will be ordering from Bill as soon as I can make my mind up which bar I want LOL. The open apes look great on the batwing, not sure how they will look on the Shark. I have seen one pic of open apes on one and it just didn't look right and I think it has something to do with the narrowness of the bottom to bottom of a standard ape.
