Ape Hangers


I just had 12" Ape Hangers installed. John at Smith Cycle Center in Green Forest, Ar. did all the work. In addition to the 4" risers already there, this gives me 16" of arm stretch. The electrical wiring is now run up through the handlebars. We switched to all steel braided lines for clutch, brake line, ect. The turn signals were relocated down to the forks. Kinda cleans it up a little. It definately has a different look and feel now. It feels like a Harley now! Easier to control in close quarters but a little different on the highway. Overall I love it! (Video quality may not be the best. I recorded it with a new IPOD to test it out. Better quality at www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4TnukLgWtQ&layer_token=6803602784c5cb7f )

I found this in march down in Dallas, Texas at Dream Machines of Texas






















The stock 88 motor

















The Spring in Softail Springer

I have added a few new chrome pieces, new grips, clutch & brake levers,front and rear pegs, moved the forward controls 3 inches forward, master brake cylinder covers, lower belt guard, chain guard, front axel blt covers, rear axle bolt covers, timing cover, rear pulley cover, and swingarm pivot bolt covers. It is in the shop right now getting 12 inch ape hangers installed. The handle bars are installed, and the brake and clutch lines are on order, and should done by this weekend. In the future I plan on lowering the rear 2 inches, and getting a lower-profile seat.
