dono how much you want to spend man but carlini makes some killer apes.

i picked up a set of their new streetfighters for my street bob and they're amazing.

a lot of guys on here use HCC for apes, they sell complete kits with the bars pre-wired which will save you some time and they carry the big name brands.

you lookin for a solo or 2up seat?

le pera bare bones looks great on the softails.

i think you could do black apes, seat, and black wheels for under that cost, thats doing the work yourself which is half the fun... if you dont have one already, may i suggest a service manual.

also, thanks for your service!

I'm thinking just grab the first piece of fine *** you see, throw her on the back of the train and ride brother. Open end towards enemy brother and come back safe from a fellow Vet!

What's wrong with you american soldiers? The first thing to get after a deployment is a bottle of booze and a hooker. If you have the money, get 2 (hookers, not bottles). After that, think about your bke. Always worked for me.
This said, Keep your head down and your rifle clean. Aim high when shooting downhill, and avoid making prisoners. Thanks for doing what you do.

He probably thinks you are talking about Hooker exhaust.

Whatever you want... thank you from a Nam era Veteran... served in Korea. I am thinking torque but that's me. Comfort second. I find the comfort aspect fine without fine tuning. But again that's me. I am a hunter and sitting in a tree on limbs with a bow for hours is fun. Of course I like rope burn too.

[quote=frenchman;6345586 Aim high when shooting downhill,,, Thanks for doing what you do.[/quote]

Actually, aim low as ballistically, the distance is equal to the horizontal distance not the actual distance... ballistics also take into consideration temperature and altitude variance... depenidng on zero conditions... I digress.

per the quote "Thank you for what you do." The main point.
