How do you like the riding position? Looks awesome. I'm thinking about getting some shorter apes and maybe angle them back some to get my hands closer to me. I have a pinched nerve in my neck, and reaching forward to the bars will aggrevate it over long periods of time. How do they affect the handling of the bike? with apes I've always been concerned about the low speed manuevering of the bike. any complaints about the new bars? thanks for the info!

 

It does give it that attitude!

 

Good choice. That's what I have. Just got em on also. Congrats and enjoy.

 

If you don't mind. About how much did that cost you? And what length cables and brake hoses did you use? The bike looks BAD ***.

 

JW ...

Please post your parts, part#'s, and other relevant info here

Been trying to get as much info as possible neatly tucked away in that thread.

Thanks much!!

Oh man!!

You are going to cost me some money. Those bars look SWEET.

I need a chubby!!!

 

Thanks guys

To start, I do have the 3" lift on my tank. Got that from J&P Cycles for like $60.
Chubbys were around $200
Now for all the cables, I got them from www.magnumshielding.com
Here is a link for custom lengths. You measure up what you need and they custom make the cables.
They show you on the site how to measure for everything. Didnt get part numbers for the cables when I got them.
Paid around $250 for cables.

Instead of adding to the wiring. I ordered new chrome switches with 48" leads.
Got the switches from www.dragspecialties.com
Part number 2106-0018
Those were $128
Could have gone a cheaper route with those, but didnt.
A friend of mine did the install for me when I was out of town for a couple of days.


My first ride was this past saturday and we did 300 miles. I had no discomfort or anything. It felt a bit different at first but got used to them right away. Low speed manuevering was a little strange at first but no problem now. I felt that at highway speeds I myself was able to take the curves better for some reason.
I will try and post a pic with me on the bike in the next day or so.
anubisss nice ride. My buddy has a fatboy and I have been trying to get him to get the same bars.

Thanks again guys.
Jeff
