HandH,

That is freaking sweet, I love the paint combo too. Very nice set up indeed.

When I bought my '83 shovel lowrider it had 16" apes with 4" bones on it....................You talk about reachin' for the sky. It was the worst thing I ever road on..................

nice looking ride!

how is the ride with the blood running down your arms?

So far i really like it better than the factory bars. The handlebars hit me right at shoulder level or a tad higher. The biggest difference i can tell is that with the apes they are taller and wider, once you pull them back to you there is no reaching, there is alot less strain on my back and shoulders. I have not had any problems with my arms or hands going numd.

I have a pair of black leather insulated/windshear gaunlets I wear when the temps dip down below 30 degs here. They are the nuts.
