BOODIE,
I WENT WITH THE TWO WRAPS COMING OUT EITHER SIDE INTO THE HEADLIGHT BUCKET. I ALSO USED THE SPLIT WIRE LOOM TO WRAP MINE. YOU CAN PICK IT UP AT ANY AUTO PARTS STORE.

It's also possible to drill a pass-through hole in the top clamp to keep them together and shoot straight down to the headlight bucket.

The aftermarket one I have already had the hole there, so it kept it quite clean.

Yeah that look is super clean. What type of shop do you take trees to bore a hole through?

Anybody that has a drill press should be able to hook you up. The upper clamps are just aluminum.

Okay guys, I bought mine with powder coated miniapes installed. Now how do I tell how tall they are? They measure 12 inches from the center of the stock risers to the top of the bar where it goes into the grips. Are they called 12s?

I'd call them 12's. MiniApes are typically that size.

Good job!

16" all the way! I still can't get over how much more in control it feels. And the 40" wide bars let my 37" arms feel like they are FINALLY in the right place! Lovin' it!
