my kind of cruiser. never had a production stretch. that's a really lucky find.
why take the "tank" pieces off? heavy? just didn't like the look?
i bet you like the regular springer better than the bent one. i hate those things.
i just brought some tall ape hangers a few months back but haven't tried them on a bike. i have the half moon type on all my stretches, either a few i brought or extending regular ones.
