    That sure is a good looking bike there Cowboy. I am sure will enjoy it. Now you could ride that one up to Sturgis without any worries of a faulty oil pump. :D

    Nice scooter Cowboy & not a lot of miles for a '94. I agree about the buckhorns, even tho I have them on my bike. Mine come off a Sportster, only 27" across and not much pullback. In the riding position my arms are straight out with a slight bend in the elbows, but those look humongus and probably 3 feet wide.

    Josh these bars are about 10-12 high , but come straight back i'am about 5-9 & 170 & my elbows are next to my ribs , I had a night train seat from. 01 & put it on lowered it a bit & lifted the bars up , but they still suck , so the 10-12 mini apes are in mind , I'll start looking for some used ones from a heritage first or some that some one took off

    I've got 12" mini's and I really like them, 2nd bike I've had them on. and only 32" wide tip to tip.
    you could always put on risers to raise them up a little.
