tahnks for the pics jake!! MUCH appreciated!! i think the 16's would be a bit too tall for my liking, i think the 12's would be it for me w/ 2" risers. thanks again bro, and sweet lookin ride!! you gunna paint the front fairing to match the textured paint

Thanks Bro... it was a fun Mod... learn as I went... I'm building a set of apes here in the next month or so and will have to do it all over agian.. the cable swap was easy just running the wires inside the bars was the pain in the azz... if you go tall its not cheap... cables cost more than the bars and risers...

No problem... if you go with 12's then you can run your cabels behind the TT and not have to shell out the money for the cabels...

don't know yet if I'm going to have the fairing painted to match... was thinking of having it flat blk and adding some pinstrips...? it not on the bike much just when its cold or for long rides... sure did love it this AM when it was 12* and I had 50+ miles to go to work...

sweet deal! i think i'm going to go as cheap as possible and build me a set of z bars. i'll run some wiring thru each side while i weld each section so that it's easier to pull everything through. but the main difference is that i'm thinking of welding up some 1.5" tube so i can have some big ol fatty z bars!! i might make the center section smaller so i can fit it to some stock ace risers if i can find them!

sounds kind of what I'm doing also... I'm making a set of 45* z-bars... the main pipe is going to be 1.25 but will do 1 in for the risers and controls... noting special just want a set of bars with 2 in of pull back vs 6 to 8 in... I really want a set of Mother F-er's Z bar apes but I'm not going to shell out that kind of money for them just to turn around and have them P.C. blk to match the Bike...

I made they z-bar Drag bars when I 1st got the bike... it was fun trying to mirror the angles...lol..
