For creating a notch for the bars, I wonder if I could just tape off the spot, mark a notch on the tape, then use a pneumatic drill with a fine grinder bit and "hone" out the shape that way - thoughts?

 

you probably could do it that way it will just take longer to cut it
when i did mine i cut a little checked it
did that 4/5 times till i liked the way it fit

 

Keithhu, Love the Dead cap...you make that?

 

thats going to be great!

 

Thanks! You mean on the fender? Dennis at Topdown Products (forum sponsor) made it. Derby cover is from http://www.pangal.com

 

Bars looking good. I also wanted apes but never rode or sat on a bike with them.
Drew, you are the man!

 

Looking Good......I have 14's also and it's one of the best mods I've done for comfort.

 

That Steel your face does look sweet Keith. Apes are looking awesome too! I'm learning quite a bit from this set of posts. My apes go on my springer this coming Tuesday... went with 1" diameter 12" rise. Been wondering how to handle the forward apes and the windshield,,,now I know how.

Thanks gang!

 

Cool Apes man! Very nice indeed....ride on!

 

Any updates?
