    Cowboy the bars are so long that in a real tight slow maneuver they poke me in the ribs. They are Indian bars and I'm thinking some mini apes might be good.

    Very nice and I was going to say something about the bars being VERY wide as well but Cowboy beat me too it. Not to mention your comment about them poking you in the ribs. hahahaha Oh well. Yeah mini apes would probably look really good on it.

    Nice Bike and thanks for sharing. Really like it! Oh I did I miss it or did you not mention the year?

    Its a 2001 and has 30,000 miles on it. First owner to very good care of it and I have all the records. Second owner only rode it 850 miles in 3 years and basically stored it in a barn for the last three years on Bainbridge Island that is by Seattle WA. Yesterday I took off the stock brake pedal and replaced it with the extended one, much better. I'm still going to replace the mufflers as the chrome on the Sampson pipes has peeled and has a lot of pitting. Rest of the bike is good.
    Thinking of relocating the turn signals changing the bars and then run the wires up the bars.

    Sweet!! I just purchased a well used 2001 Heritage with 40k miles on it. Sure do enjoy riding her. I still have a few small things to do on her but so far so good.
