Gary, someday you and I will actually have to take a ride together. Maybe a meet in the middle (of the country). If not for the ride, at least to gather more ammo.  We will be up in Wyoming/Montana next late spring.....?

Hey Moe, you are going to like the handle bars. I chickened out and paid Jim to do mine. But the new bars give a much better feeling, a little wider and a little closer much better for us folks with a limited wing span. Much better riding position for us. Good luck with your mods.

That would be great.

So far the bars look good.  I'm thinking though I should have went to the 12".  I definately have a short wing span.  I have it done except for the brakes lines.  I'm going to try to have them lenghtened.  If it can't be done I will probably get a shop to make me up a set.  While I was in there I changed out the speakers to a set of Polk Audio's.  One problem I had with the install was the bike had the MP3 player installed when I bought it and now it doesn't fit properly with the new bars (gap).  Unfortunately the chrome brake control clamp didn't come with the bike so I had to order one.  No big deal and I never used the MP3 player anyway.  Now I have to change all of my mounts, ie: cup holder, GPS, etc.  I'm sure in the end it will all be worth it.  The job took about 8 hours total. 

PS:  I would like to hunt down and shoot the nit who designed the radio mounts and front bolts for the bar clamps.  What a pita to get out.

Cheers, Moe

Oh yea I forgot about those Chubby's are 11/4" instead of 1". I had to get bigger clamps for certain very necessesary additions to the bars, some you mentioned.  The Mrs. teases me about hanging more stuff on the bars. Hope it all works out for you.
