I'm assuming the LA Chopper Twin Peak bars except the same handgrips that go on the stock HD bars???

Or do I have to sing the MO Money song.....

Yessir they do. The last set I installed for a friend used the stock grips. Went back on without a hitch.

These are the bushings you speak of correct?

Just ordered a set ($14). I've got my 12" Yaffe classic apes ($88) on the way as well. Now I just have to figure out what +6 clutch and brake cables I'm going with. I'm thinking the Magnum Shielding Sterling Chromite II ($153 with shipping) but not for sure. Since everyone says you can go 12s without having to extend cables I don't have to worry about that so I'll have $245 in the whole setup, providing I don't break anything in the process. Can't beat that!

Thanks for the tip. Maybe I'll go a different route then.

I did a little searching and Phat Performance has discounted prices on the Magnum cables. Everything I need (clutch, upper and lower brake lines) with free shipping is $213 and in stock. I read in a couple threads where the stock upper cable length used by Magnum is shorter by a few inches vs the actual HD cable so I'm probably going to go with +8 just to be safe.

EDIT: Oh, they also have 3% off orders over $200 so that brings it down to $206 vs $266 direct from Magnum.
