Default Anticipation

Who here luvs to get that UPS notification.
"Out for delivery"
I orderd the 12.5 Apes from and everything else to install my Apes from HDParts.com.
Next after receiving the parts will be the anticipation of waiting for the install....

Do you have the old bars off already? Anticipation is good, riding after the upgrade is better, spending time with brothers is priceless. I hope you like the bars, I enjoy mine.

Bars not off bike.
I will have to ride over to my Brothers place to do the work.
He has the same bars on his SG...so that helped with my decision, only thing differant is my bike has the drop frame, so my seat is give or take 2" -3" lower.
Thats why I did not do the 14"s....

Yea. Except when I get home and find the Freakin sticker on the door that says "signature required". Always remember to tell the seller not to require signature if you live in an area not prone to theft. Nothing like that door sticker to deflate your Johnson. :-)

Even worse is when it happens on a Friday and it's a holiday weekend. Happened to me this past Christmas, missed the man in brown by thirty minutes.

I Love that UPS guy! Whether bike stuff, or camera stuff, or camping or shooting gear, he is my favorite friend of all time!

Good luck with those bars Bro, and for sure show us pics when you are done....... This is my next mod and I'm very interested in the finished look.
