New Handlebars!!

Well folks, I finally had my new handlebars installed today!

A set of 10" mini-apes from Flanders with buckshot levers, chrome housings and switches, and braided cables. Here is a pic. I hope you all can see, the host is imagestation. This is not a very good picture, but I just had to show you. I'll post a better pic when daylight comes around.



Screw it! I'll have to show you when the server is all good and ready! That or I'll find a host that ain't so stubborn...

Yeah, I really like that look! I have 10" wild one mini apes on my heritage. I really like them, very comfortable also.

They look great. I'm thinking about putting some pull back risers on my springer. By the way, can you see over the windshield or do you have to look through it?

Thanks! I love them! Wish I had done it sooner ! Oh, well...

I can see over the windshield. I'm 5'1 with a 14" windvest. It was a great investment! Look'n through it makes me dizzy . Here's another photo from another host. I'll see if it works...

I don't think so. I believe they said it would work with the original cables.

Thanks! Those are the HD grips with the 100th endcaps. And yes Buckshot mirrors are in the works! Pricey, though!! I'm pretty much going buckshot on everything. After seeing the SE Fatboy and with all the buckshot stuff, I couldn't resist! That bike has my heart!
