Argh, no. All the cables n stuff was supposed to be in on Friday, but of course they were waiting on the friggin chrome pulley cover! They said they want to finish it up in one sitting, and the expect the pulley cover to come in tomorrow, so I will likely have it back on Wednesday.

Weather is getting better here, but .....http://www.weather.com/weather/tenda...nav_undeclared

Hey Keith, the bars look good. Sorry about the delay.
Here's a bucket to cheer you up.

I'm waiting for the call from the driver so I can meet him at my house so they can start on mine! I'm realizing how impatient I can be....like a little kid at 5am on Christmas morning!

Summer we are the same as Pacific. We don't change clocks but it's still a pain because every else changes. Keeping track of the times our offices in other states open and close, tv shows shift an hour and so on. You can't escape it.

Can't wait to see those bars and read a review. I'm still on the fence with going beach or ape down the road. Really curious how the apes treat your neck and shoulders.

My apes allow a more upright riding position. The stockers had me reaching forward which meant a slight raising of my head to the rear in riding in stock position.
My head now is in a more natural level position promoting better posture so I'd assume less stress on the neck.
My hands are slightly below shoulder height with my bars following the line of the forks.
If I rolled them forward, my hands would be above my shoulders which might add to stress on the neck?
