Very nice mate...Maybe if you can, adjust the bars so they follow the same line as the rake of the forks but that might not suit your riding position.

The bars are 1.25 Wild one chubbys. The head light is from Adjure. It is the 7 inch Ventura. They had some with flames that were back ordered. I wanted those but there was no date for the back order. They have trouble keeping all their line in stock. I went to them direct in City of Commerce only a couple of miles from me to pick it up. The finish is exellent and it is the look I was after. I had a similar one on before that did not taper as much but I like this one better the more I look at it. Check out their lights at adjureinc.com

Everything in the pic looks great. Have you had a chance to go for a ride and see how they handle? I've always liked apes, now you will look like some of the pics that David Mann did.

Ok.. That's one way cool Fatty! Holy Smokes!!! [8D]

Great bars.
So what do you think of the quality of the Chubby's?

I'm seriously considering a set on my 04 fatboy..
But I'm considering the 10" apes #WO515... Something a wee more closer to what I have now.. Heritage bars.

Man I'm cryin'!! That fatboy is gorgeous! Great job!

Apes handle fine for me. The only thing for me that took a bit of getting used to was the flex you get when you hit the brakes hard. I had to brake hard yesterday to stop and I can feel the bars flex. I had to check and make sure that the bars did not break loose but they stayed pretty well. The risers I have have rubber bushings I believe so that may have cause some flex also. Other than that I rode over 100 miles and was fine. Our next long trip is a weekend trip to reno which I think is about 11 hrs each way. I guess that is the real test. I may pull back the bars a bit to lower them so they will be more comfortable for that amout of saddle time. The bars are just above my shoulders and that is due to the corbin gunfighter seat which low profile as you can see. If I had the stock seat it would be at or a bit below my shoulders.

Great looking ride. That's exactly the look that I am looking for for my Heritage as far as the bars go. If you could provide the measurements of the bars or the part number and also how much over on the cables you had to go I would appreciate.
