TESTIMONIAL:
Jason of Lake Tapps, Wa says:
I'm not sure whether you keep customer feedback for marketing purposes, but I thought I'd send a note about my experience with your handlebar install video. I recently purchased your video and installed 14″ Carlini Gangster apes on my 2005 Road King Classic with all new braided stainless cables and wiring extension. I'm no wrench by any stretch of the imagination, so this was the most significant project I've ever done to my bike. Thanks to your video, and your attention detail, the project went very well and I just wrapped everything up. I never would've come close to completing this project on my own without your video…very nicely done! Even better, I probably saved over a thousand bucks!
I GUARANTEE YOU CAN DO IT!
