Hey guys im gonna put a order in for my west coast t-bars..for the street bob mine is a 2014 with the 10" factory apes..can i get away with 12" without cable extensions..? can anyone tell me if what the 10" or 12" measures from tripple to the actual top of the bar?

 

I don't know the dimensions you need, but your cables and wires have plenty of slack. Some guys routinely put 14" apes without the need to change anything.

 

You asked for it...

Same bike, different pics with a little extra green. I added some small things. New flush mount fuel cap and gauge, which are going to come off and get sent to Joe Knapp with my ignition for a more permanent blackening. I have them rattle-canned with texture black right now. The battery boxes are going in for a paint match too soon. I hate having to go more than a few days without a ride, so taking it down for a couple weeks for more paint and powder is gonna suck, but the end result will be worth it. I'll have to ride the train to work for a while. And those new MX Tbars still aren't ready (argh), but also coming soon. I'm still undecided on those heat shields though.

 

thanks man..i just gotta decide between 10 or 12 now..i take it the 10" is really about 11" tall ? squid bike lookin good..

 

Digging those flush mounts and green plug wires.

 

do you need to buy those bushings and bolts when you order west coast t-bars?

 

Squid what flush mount caps are those? And is that your power vision tucked up there behind the bars? whole setup is lookin good man

 

They're all badass for the most part in this thread imo. I'm really jealous of the ohlins, I've really been trying to justify a set for this season. Which ones are they and how do you like them? I like what you've done with the bike since it had the apes.

How do you like the c&c fastback? Been thinking about one of them also, my badlander is beat. I like the looks of the fastback but have a hard time spending over $300 with no idea how it feels. Is the pan plastic like Harley seats or heavy steel like lepera?

Never thought I'd say this, but I think I like the chrome in this case, and I don't know why.


I wanted to send a few things to Joe this winter also, we'll see if time allows. My pro tapers and risers should be here this week, mocking those up should help my anxiety.

 

I wish my key was on the dash! Damn key fob is scuffing up my frame! Bike looks good squid! Looking forward to seeing it with painted battery boxes

 

Thank you. The Ohlins are the HD909 originally made for the Road King. They bolt right up to the Dyna with the supplied spacers and bushings. I don't think they offer them anymore. I bought them used from Squidhead, but they are in like-new condition.

The ride is incredible. With the Traxxion/Ricor upgrade, my bike handles like a sport touring bike.
