    I forgot to post this as requested. This is sort of what it looks like from a seated position.

    I will try to get a picture for you today sometime. As for the finish on them. I scuffed the chrome with red scotch brite, then used an adhesion promoter and finished them off with rustoleum truck bed coating. I did this with all of my plastic pieces.

    Well, done for now. Until I get around to fabbing up my license plate and rear turn signal brackets. I'm happy so far :)

    They're close to the tank but they are clear. As compared to what seating position I'm used to on a sport bike it's still pretty comfortable. I haven't had it out yet since I'm waiting on parts from the powder coat shop tho :/

    Had to set the camera on the car in video mode but managed to pull off a half decent shot. Seating is not that bad in my opinion.

    I'll see what I can do. It really doesn't feel uncomfortable. But then again I'm used.to leaning forward. It's still not as much as a sport bike tho. I'm guessing on a count of the seat height.

    Ahhhhhhhh! Progress! After a little re routing of wires and cables they're looking more complete. I just need to sort out the throttle cable so it doesn't bind and stick from the new angle. Aside from that, just waiting on about 23 bits of Chrome to come back from powder coating :) Thanks for...

    I got my bars home and test fitted them. I snapped a couple pictures but it was starting to get dark out. Fitment looks really good. I've got to drop a couple more things off at the powder coat shop tomorrow. Once I get parts back and installed I'll have some better pictures. Stay tuned!

    I got the bars today. Once I get home I will start testing fitment and see if any other adjustments will be needed :)
