Those are very nice! I thought apes brought more of a upper body push and drag bars seemed more like wrist/forearm, at least at slow turns

Loving the looks I've been getting with the apes.

Did you have to buy cables to run the 14's or just the brake line?

I already had longer cables (i think 4" over) for my beach bars the brake line was stock so I had to get a longer one for that.

Re:Can you tell why I have a HUGE grin on my face? 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago
Welcome to the world of ape hanging! Looking good! I understand about the cables and brake line, but I wonder why you had to solder wires??? I've got 12" apes on 4" risers and the wires just made it (and is probably the only reason holding me back from going to 16" Kong bars w/Tim at Metric Magic).

Re:Can you tell why I have a HUGE grin on my face? 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago
I have 2" pullback risers and I ran the wires through the bars which uses more wire. I was about 7" short but, I added about 10" so I had some extra wire in the light bucket. Steven
