    Matt's a perfectionist and he's not going to just monkey around with those apes.     :doh: ;D

      Here are a couple to get you bye for the time being. I am done with the bak, coil relocation, side cover clean up and almost all the wiring for the apes. After that I have to wire up the LED kit I got from Custom Dynamics and my side mount license place along with the rest of the wiring for Chilly's cruise control and then it's time, finally to finish with the tins and slap those bad boys on. We'll see how it goes. Either way, good or bad it'll be one of a kind.

      Updated pics, just have to finish cleaning everything up. I have to make a trip to the bolt store. Get some black bolts to finish it out. Also have to install the RAIDER shift linkage. Wash it too of course. In case you are wondering why I posted these pics twice, I figured some people would have this thread followed and some would have the new bike paint thread followed. What'cha think of those apes? They fit the lines of the bike pretty well huh?

      Nice! GEt it washed up because I want to see some better pics of the paint detail.

      The handle bars flow much better than I expected they would, but DAMN!  Those are some tall ass bars.  Not sure I'd be comfortable riding like that.  I hope it doesn't hinder performance.  Or maybe you could become the first to make some quick-release bars and you could have another set for racing.

      How long before you get the seat on and take it out for a ride?

      It will still handle just fine. It's all about how wide they are for leverage. Narrow apes handle like crap. Mine are gtg. I'll wash it soon. I will be finishing up all the work tonight maybe tomorrow afternoon and take it for a ride on Monday. That's the plan right now. I just couldn't wait to take a pic. It looks nice. The paint is awesome.

      If the question is to the OP, probably a good idea to look at the dates of the posts, but if it's in general, carry on  ;D
