if it's already on the internet, like myspace, facebook whatever right click the pic

go to properties

copy the address url

come to the message board here, and click the little tv screen looking icon(first row 3 to the right)

and paste the address in between the [img][/img]

that should do it! serowbot explained it to me like that i believe!

anyway, i kinda like ape's but drag bars are cool! i can't wait to see what u've chopped!

Welcome to the madness! What brand of tires are those? I like your bike a lot, do you have any photos closer to how your seat is mounted?

Title: Re: Apes or nahh?
Post by BHBobber on 01/19/10 at 10:46:40

Very nice BHBobber. The white walls definitely give it old school. You will find that most of us here love the old school look.

I got 10" apes from the local Harley dealer. I've since switched to a custom made T-bar but I loved these things.

I'm about 5'9" and with a lowered seat these were at perfect shoulder height. Anything taller and you're gonna start losing circulation in your arms. Surprisingly these bars make the bike pretty easy to steer. Once you get the bike leaned into a turn, your body weight pulls on the outside grip and keeps the bike leaned nicely.

yo bobbert i like your bike alot man,im doin 17" on mine.call me crazy but when it comes to bikes im more fashion over function haha.but i wanted to ask you how and where you got your longer cables.

Title: Re: Apes or nahh?
Post by Yonuh Adisi on 01/20/10 at 14:35:09

With 10 inch mini apes, unless you are switching from the drag bars to the apes, all you have to do is re-route the cables. But since you are going with 17 inch apes you will definately need new cables. Unfortunately I do not know where to pick any up at.

The clutch cable for a Honda CB550 is just a tad bit longer than stock, and is a direct swap, but I do not know if it will be long enough for 17 inch apes.

Nice rat! Now drop out of school and get rid of those chrome head covers. Keeps them guessing longer. :D

I was thinking about a similar mod for my bike did you just spray your wheels or are they powder coated. if they are sprayed how does it hold up. I am also running the 12.5 apes on mine and i just had to rerun my cables.

I've got some 10" ones to add to mine sometime before next season starts... I picked up cables from the Savage to put on mine, so I've heard the S40 ones will be a bit too short.

Someone on the board here is able to get custom lengths cut.... But his username slips me at the moment.
