Bike looks awesome. I have 2018 BO Black. I was thinking of switching to apes. How is the handling with the apes vs the stock drag bars? Thanks

Waaay better, especially in low speed tight maneuvering. You'll wish you'd done it sooner.

What brand are they and height. My 18 may be different as far as fitment? 1.25 inch all the way thru and clamp area.

I have 14" Carlini bars and I love them!

The front forks are black DLC coated tubes.

In the back, flush strut mounted Art Alloy rear turn signals.

Handmade sissy bar.

The 14 inchers seem to do the trick for most of us who are 6" or so and average build. Still, its a style thing as much as anything else so you've got to do your own research as to what is available which fits and suits you. Good luck !

16" Phatty Mercs by FMB Choppers
1.5" diameter bars and it necks down to 1.25" at the clamp area

I'm 6'4" and they fit me perfectly. They come right to shoulder height for me. Way more comfortable than the stock bars, and apes just look badass IMO!!!!

Default OCD Is a terrible drug!

so I decided to fix my taillights a few days ago





then my OCD kicked in and it turned into this




I have about 20 parts out for powder coat and doing several of L.A.Dog’s upgrades i.e. front suspension upgrade with Ricor Intiminators and RaceTech Springs, 30T/70T Pulley and a bunch of other upgrades I’ve wanted to do since I bought my scoot in 2015.
