So I am looking to install some apes on my 08 street glide. Never had apes on a biker so don't know much about them. I do know that I want to keep the apes as close to the fairing as possible. Anyone who can point me in a direction with a brand or post some pictures please do. So far a guy at the local dealer recommended the 13" ape from Cyclesmiths or even the 16". What are your thoughts and suggestions, thanks.

I am thnking to go with 13" too.would like to see some pic if any one has one .thanks.

 

IV'E seen 12" meat hooks that look pretty good.

 

Post them pics guys, haha. I dont have a clue who makes apes other than cyclesmiths. What are meat hooks and are they comfortable?

do a search on here.... I have a few photos saved of street glides and ultras w/ 13's and 16's.... get the cycle smiths bars for touring... they are bent to look good w/ your fairing.

wish I knew how to post pics here

 

Paul Yaffe has some bagger apes.

The Yaffe Monkey Bagger Bars are the ones I plan on getting!

 

i bought those (12s) and blacked them out, i plan on putting them on soon, need to figure out 2008 wire extension and brake/clutch cable length, my friend said i need 8" over for my 12s...

 

I went with the yaffe monkey bagger bars.&nbsp\\; Over all I love them but they are 1" taller than advertised.&nbsp\\; They are supposed to be 12"s but we measured and they are 13"s which put them over the fairing a little more than the pictured ones on his website.&nbsp\\; Internally wiring the bars is a biotch with the sharpe angle at the top but once you get the wires in everything else is a piece of cake.&nbsp\\;

 

Here's 13" Cyclesmith's on my glide.I think they look pretty good.If you go with 13's,you'll need +6 on all cables and brake lines.No need for wire exstentions,there's plenty of length in stock wires.
