Tell me all about those punisher bars.  I have been dreaming about them.  Did you need to replace any cables or did it fit on stock cables? How's the ride behind them?  I'm 5'9" and want a more upright, laid back, position. The front end looks different,did you change forks or the triple T?

The bars are very nice.  I definitely feel more comfortable in my shoulders and hands.  The hand position of the stock C bars would give me a cramp every once in awhile, and my shoulders would hurt after leaning forward for awhile.  I'm 5'10", and I wanted the same things you do, especially when I'm on long trips and use my backrest.

I went ahead and bought the R/S throttle & clutch cables and the front brake line.  I don't know if the stock C cables would work or not.  Some have said they just re-routed the cables back behind the tree, but I didn't want to do that.  The cables look very cool and are bright.

I chromed pretty much every piece on the front end, except the wheel and rotor.  The rotor is polished, though, and looks like chrome!

true... hey, on a lighter note, can you recommend a sealer for polished aluminum. I did my top tree and for legs and I don't want them to get all dull to fast.
