Default 13" apes completed

Finally finished my road6custom 13" apes glad they make this in a kit now. I can honestly say they look good and are comfortable on the bike for a female that is 5'8. That is one installation i don't want to do again, there was too much involved, but i am happy i saved big dollars doing it myself. And thanks to all the folks on here that had the how to treads. The most valuable was using a sting to pull the trottle and idle cables under the tank saves lots of time by not having to remove the tank.

If you have the plastic caps, think of spending a few bucks at Road6 to get some of their other caps that are not plastic. My 14" bars on my old Nightster always popped off, I always seemed to find them, but it was still annoying.

After riding with them for a while how do you like them? I just picked up a pair off ebay for $120 they look good how are they holding up?
