Default Bars are done!

Put the last parts back on this morning and I am loving the new bars. Waiting on parts to come in was the worst. Here's a list of the parts I used for the bars, cables and wires.
Fat Baggers EZ Install Bar - 14" - 907014-B - $450 ish
NAMZ Throttle by wire 4" extenstion - NTBW-J04 - about $56 with shipping (way too expensive, check with HD first)
HD Blinker 4" extensions - 69200034 - $35
HD Upper Brake Cable - 4" extension - 1741-5796 - $75
Fat Baggers Clutch Cable 4" extension - 109812 - $100 (HD dealer 10% discount) This item is a bit pricey, but worth every penny!!! It really is as easy to install as the videos state.

The worst part of the bar install is bleeding the new upper brake line. I watched a few videos on how to push fluid from the brake caliper to the master cylinder and it worked great. Its not a fast process, but it gets the job done.
So here is what most of you are looking for - THE PICS!! Several comparison pics of the bike with and without the windshield and the batwing fairing.
Stay safe and keep the shiny side up!!

Looks good! Which do you prefer for stability and buffeting, the BW or OEM?

Right now they are about the same. I am getting air from under both and it causes a lot of buffeting. I need to get a set of fork wind deflectors. I should be good after that. I think the bike looks better with the BW on it though.

The new Heritages look great with ape-hangers. Good job.

Nice job on the bars. They look sharp on your bike. Sucks having to wait for parts.
