Just finished installing my new bars (12" bagger nation apes) last night. rode into work today, they are higher than i expected, but i have to say I love them! I changed out to chrome switch covers while i was at it. i am on the hunt for new mirrors, the stock mirrors just didn't fit.
I wasn't expecting the amount of work or time it took to put them on along with cables, etc.
Onto the next project, swapping out my front wheel....
Thanks guys, i love them. i am 6'3 and these fit great, so much more comfortable than stock. i do need to find some mirros, not sure what route i will go. one thing to mention is i should have changed my riser bushing to poly.
Those look awesome. Thinking of going with mini-apes on my new to me bike, but not sure yet. I'm 6'4 and yours look like they would be very comfortable for me.
I just went with a similar setup and at 6'8" it makes a huge difference! I love the feel, even if I don't love my hands exposed to the air. I got fairing mounted mirrors installed and while they're ok, they shake a fair amount making it difficult to see out of them and the blinker/cruise control apparatus (for lake of a better word) do hang down into the mirrors some. I think if I had to do it again, I'd install some mirrors upside down...
for the price you can't beat these bars. fit and finish is awesome. i am pretty sure i am going to try and find some sleek bar mtd. mirrors. i am not into the fairing mtd. mirrors. i tried the factory mirrors mtd. up-side down, but they completely covered te speaker.
