Another thing how are the hangers are those 16"zzz, I'm 6"2 do you think the hangers would be a good hight? Any info would be great...
Keep an eye on ebay for the nacelle, either in pieces or complete. Mine was ruined and I happened to check ebay on Thursday last week and there were several. I grabbed the halves that I needed to fix mine. You can save a search and ebay will email you when new items hit. Forget about getting used in black, I've never seen them since I doubt they sell very many compared to chrome. Just get the chrome setup and have them PC'd.

As for the apes, they are 14" and I'm 5'9". At 6'2" I'd think you'd be more than fine with 16" of any brand/type of ape. I would think on average 16" for you would probably be below your shoulders. I would keep them at shoulder height for the most comfort. I've ridden 450 mile days without any hand/arm issues. Pay attention to the width from grip to grip and the pull back. Both of those measurements have a big impact on how the bars feel. The gangsters only have 7" of pull back, which isn't much and was a little shocking when I rode for the first time. If I wasn't sick of having my bike apart and spending money, I'd probably buy some flyin' apes and see how those felt. I'm ready to ride though and tired of pulling wires in/out of bars.

One more thing, how's the ape hangers are they cool for long rides as well??? I'm 6"2 and heared somewhere that it shouldn't be higher than your shoulder, what do you think? Thanks in advance for the advice.

If you can get them in black, might as well unless they are a lot more $$.

Has anyone combined edge cut brake and gear levers with other styles of gear shifter peg and brake pedal? I'm about to have 3" extended controls installed in my Lo, so I need to replace the gear with the FX style. I have tribal pegs, mirrors and hand grips, so would like to stick with tribal gear shifter and brake pedal. I just can't visualise what it would look like with edge cut billet levers vs the satin black billet levers?? Any thoughts or photos from folks who have done something similar?

I got the edge cut lever for grip...then went with diamond black series for rest. Doesnt look out of place at all.....I believe with any series on a Lo.
