The trick was to divide the wires into groups of 4 with 5 different pull wires. if mr yaffee was around at the time I was doing this, I would have shoved these bars up his a$$.

Just installed the Performance Machine Virtue 21x3.5 Wheel with Hells Foundry Dashlink setup for my Ipod Touch. I had to drill the holes out in the front fender so the tire wouldn't rub. I might have to lower it an inch in the front. I was itching to install wheel so that's why the stock rotors are on there. Hopefully the new rotors will be arriving soon.

Your bike looks very nice! I would definitely lower it, looks way better and handles better, not all Easy Rider style. I lowered mine 2", that might be to much, I might raise it 1/2".

Not a fan of that console though. Does the fuel cap stay exposed?
I think the sony head unit with the ipod internal is a way better option.

But over all you have a nice looking ride!

Sweet looking bike!!!, I had a couple of questions for you: What type of brake and clutch line did you use and what was your lenght. I am also doing 14 inch apes and wanted to see what you use as far as brand and lenght. Second where did you get the banana boards from as far as vendor. Thank you in advance.

Drag Specialties brand.. The handle bars came with +8 cables and lines. If I could go back, I would have done +10 on the clutch. +8 is cutting it close and it has to be routed perfectly.
