SO I FINALLY GOT MY 16 INCH APE HANGERS PUT ON THIS WEEKEND. I GOT FINISHED ABOUT 10:30 SATURDAY NIGHT, AND HAD A RIDE SUNDAY MORNING. WELL, AFTER FINISHING I HAD TO DO A TEST DRIVE AND GOT HOME ABOUT MIDNIGHT. SWEET!! AFTER PUTTING ON A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES YESTERDAY, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IT IS LIKE I HAVE A NEW BIKE. IT LIFTED MY ARMS, LET ME SIT BACK, AND REPOSITIONED MY HIPS. I HAD NO BACK ACHES AT THE END OF IT, MY HIPS AND LEGS FELT FINE. IF I HAD KNOWN IT WAS GOING TO MAKE THAT BIG OF A DIFFERENCE I WOULD HAVE DONE IT 10,000 MILES AGO. I CAN'T WAIT TO PUT ANOTHER 10,000 MILES ON THERE WITH THE NEW BARS.

I WILL TRY TO GET SOME PICS TAKEN AND POSTED UP HERE.

I HAVE TO SAY A SPECIAL THANKS TO CLIFFORD. I TOLD HIM WHAT I WANTED TO DO AND HE ORDERED ALL THE CABLES AND BRAKE LINES FOR ME, REMOVED ALL THE GUESSING OUT OF MEASUREMENTS,AND SAVED ME SOME MONEY. WHEN EVER I ORDER STUFF FROM NOW ON, IF I CAN GET IT THROUGH CLIFFORD I WILL. EVEN IF IT COSTS ME A LITTLE EXTRA, HIS KNOWLEDGE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ARE UNBEATABLE. SO THANKS AGAIN CLIFFORD.

AND IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, ANYBODY THINKING OF PUTTING APE HANGERS ON THEIR BIKE, DO IT. MAN, WHAT A RIDE. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OFF WORK TODAY AND GO PUT SOME MORE MILES ON.
