Just went on my first ride today... WOW.. I love those apes. Very comfortable to me. I only did a little over 200 miles, but it was great. Can't say enough about those WO576....

Very nice write-up Murph! When I get ready to do mine I will just call you. I will come down and you can supervise!

Excellent write up Murph! I am thinking of doing the same thing though very hesitant. Wanted to ask you about the 14". How tall are you? I am 5'9" and hoping that those wouldn't be too high for me. I have the same bike but a 2011. Thanks for you assistance.

I'm glad I had mine installed at the dealer and they ate it big time on my install. HE HE HE. just want to say nice write and good luck with the new bars and ride safe
