If I'm not mistaken, Bishop is now sitting on a Street Bob instead of an N

Well Bishop was right.....I picked up my mini-apes to day and slapped them on using the stock cables and brake line. Everything went pretty smooth. Just move your throttle cables outside the forks and tweak the brake line alittle. Well worth it and it looks awesome. No binding or rubbing....If anyone wants me to take some pics just let me know.

I helped my brother (07HDNightster) intall the mini-apes on his bike and it took about an hour to set them an readjust the wires so it would all look stock. But all in all it was a simple install with no problems what so ever. It gives the bike a clean look. Check out the pics he has up and if you have questions feel free to ask....

That throttle cable looks like its cutting it awful close if you were to turn full to the left, lol. Thanks for the pics, though. I think I'm going to order the "black" braided stainless from Drag Specialties. I get worried bending brake lines. [&:]

I haven't priced them out yet. But the regular ones from DS were about $150. I'd say they should be fairly close to that price.
