I just finished changing my handle bars from 24" apes to drag bars. What a pain! Cutting, splicing, soldering and routing 14 wires to the switches. Changing and adjusting the throttle, clutch and brake lines. Now I'm waiting for another new T-Fitting for the brake lines to come in because the first one is leaking and I got it temp fixed with teflon tape, oye :rage: Maybe tomorrow I'll get some new pics of it...

Nice bike. I have to say I prefer apes for comfort reasons on harleys. Set your dead man and kick back. Also glad to see you got rid of the sissy bar...I have seen people go down, try to kick away and have the sissy bar catch them and drag them along.

I personally am a fan of all bikes, but most recently ride crotch rockets. Just sold my GSXR 1000. Looking for both a hayabusa and a buell by the end of the summer if funds permit. Here is the bike I just got rid of

They were ok for bumping around town, but not at 75-80MPH on the Interstate. They would get buffeted by the wind and you could feel it in the steering and sometimes it would cause a noticable shimmy. The first time I felt it I pulled over because I was sure the steering head bearing was coming apart. I just got tired of constantly having to fight it. They made riding more like work than fun and that's when I knew it was time for them to go...:gj:

You know, it never occured to me about getting hung up by the sissy bar if you go down...
