REAL nice 82. I had one exactly like that back in the day. Except for the black cam cover. And the "Rugrats doll" in the background lol. Nice Sporty. Enjoy it!

I'm not sure why i'm saying this, but the buckhorns don't look all that bad on there, but I do think so ape's would set it off. Real nice bike you got there.

I agree. Those bars really look nice. But if you decide to swap, go apes. Either way, that is an awesome motorcycle.

Maybe stand the bars u got a little more upright (not follow angle of forks), might look pretty badass!!! ????

I really like the look of raised t-bars since I saw them on here on.....I forget who's bike that was that he built his own??? But they looked great. My only worry about them is that they might obstruct some forward vision, especially with taller bars and for a shorter person.
