Those look good on there. Did the stock hoses and wiring work?

Stock hoses work but I had to install wire extention kit part #69200034. Easy plug and play.

I ran the bars pushed up for the rest of the summer and they were better than when I bought the bike but still not great. I think its mostly that the stock bars wrist angles are terrible. I'm definetly looking at doing apes before the spring.

Ape Hangers are on 65% of bikes for a reason and that's comfortability. Why HD doesn't put them on stock bikes is beyond me. Easier to turn and long distance riding is a dream.
