Dude, love it. I am 6'1' and 350 lbs. big boy I am. I am going to do the same thing . I am trying to decide between 16' and 18'. How tall are you? I love to runwithout the windsheild, but like you, need the wind break on the highway. Never occured to me to cut the windsheild. Good idea. How much did you say it ran you for all the parts? And are your bars 1', 1 1/4"? Saw some fat 1 1/2" bars that come with a riser for rk....Going to be 250 for just the bars and riser + all thecables.I have a grand to spend and it would be close w/labor cost. Not sure if I could do it all myself and with my luck, I would get stuck and not be able to ride to a shop. Sweet look, just a matter of time. Anyone in the Albuquerque area that could help with my install , I would buy the bourbon!

Papa...Looks like we are about the same size, you may have 10 lbs on me. The 1 1/4 inch bars, Wiring extention, and all of the braided cables ran me 369.00 shipped to my door. Robert at Hill Country knew what length of everything I needed without me having to measure (looked like all of the cables were 6 inches over). I bought the poly riser bushings from the hd dealer for 34.95. I also bought new iso-grips because I was tired of my old grips. I had some small expense like shrink tube, and DOT 5 brake fluid. BTW, I took my windshield to the local glass shop yesterday and they charged me 10 bucks to clean up and smooth the edge that I cut.

Dude that does rock, very nice indeed. I've had apes on all my bikes but went with just the RK highs on my RK Classic. But now...hmmmm...maybe when I get back from the big sand box that'll be what I spend all that tax free cash on...

I've had some family over in the big sand box he has done two tours and just got orders to back over there in November. [sm=smiley20.gif]Keep up the great work so that the rest of us can be able to ride free [sm=usa.gif]. Our prayers are with all of the troops, Keep handlin' business
[sm=violent053.gif][sm=shootshoot.gif]. BTW you deserve every tax free penny you can get!
