The end of the story.. Installed Wild 1 Chubby 14 inch Reapers, new heated grips (same as come on current CVOs) ran all wires including the radar detector wire inside the bars and LED fog-lights to the crash bars as well as ran those wires inside.
Good news is I love the new bars and was planning on running the detector wires through the bars anyway. Bad news was this little "story" ended up costing a pretty penny! Yea, I know the fog-lights had nothing to do with tweaking the handlebars but since we were running wires inside of bars I thought...

Rear view of bars. Great wrist angle and better positioning in general for me

Alan I took the liberty of editing your two posts above to upright the pics.

NOTE: With the last two updates on the iphones, this has become an issue.  To prevent pics from posting sideway, when taking the pic hold your phone/camera horizontally (sideways?) with the volumn control down towards the ground.  Then your pics will post upright.  Don't ask.....    Actually, there is a lengthy explanation but in short, our phones are oriented in "landscape" position (horizontal) rather than in "portrait" (vertical).  If you've been in the habit of taking a lot of photos in portrait position, it will take awhile to relearn.

I went to the air show at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar yesterday and forgot my Nikon so I took quite a few pics before I remembered to turn my phone horizontally.  By the way, if you've not been to a military air show in a lot of years (like myself), do yourself a favor and go to the next one near you.  The price is right (free) and they've came so far with these air shows from when I was Marine Aviation during the Nam era.  It was increadable! 

Now back to Alan's thread......Alan, let's go for a ride today.  It's been forever since I've rode in the rain.

I am siting in my house right now pouting because i can't ride because of the rain.. I was riding down 163 yesterday mid day and the Blue Angels were flying above me. I looked like a moron going about 40mph down the freeway and watching the planes above me, pretty amazing! I have to go next year..
Let me know when we are riding and its not raining..
