OK, WELL, THATS ALL THAT I CAN GET TO WORK RIGHT NOW. BUT THERE ARE SOME PICS. I USED 16 INCH PAUGHCO BARS DRILLED FOR INTERNAL WIRING AND POWDER COATED BLACK.

Nice look. And I like the powder coating too! I gotta agree, apes look great on our bikes. Maybe a winter project for me.

THANKS,
I REALLY THINK THE POWDER COAT MAKES THE CHROME SWITCH HOUSINGS LOOK EVEN BETTER.

Hey Mope, How much did you spend for the upgrade, if you don't mind my asking? And maybe an idea of how much you saved doing it yourself. BTW, no need to SHOUT!

Congrats! I got mine on last week and STILL haven't been out for a ride yet... ...TOMORROW!

Finally got out for a ride today. Man, you guys weren't kidding...it feels weird, in a GREAT way! I don't know why, but it feels so much smoother to turn, and even u-turns were easier--I was expecting the opposite! I'm no mathemagician to be able to figure out what axis it affects & whatnot...but I like it! Very comfortable and like someone else said, it makes the bike almost feel lighter.

I'm keeping them.

The turns and uturns are easier because your elbows have more room to move. You have more control of things with an extended reach. You will notice dramatic results when you countersteer!
