After looking for Apes to install, I came across Hill Country Custom Cycles. They offer pre-wired bars with the pins and connectors at a great price (about $524). I was told that some of their stuff was not top quality and was wondering if anyone had intalled their pre-wired bars and what their experience was. Also, how much time did it save geting them pre-wired with the pins and connectors?

Thanks for all your help (I have learned a lot on this forum in a short period of time).

 

I won't give them a grade but maybe you should read the thread "WTF" this concerns Hill Country CC and their knowledge of the parts they sell.

 

I did 16" apes with them, decently pleased with what they sent. Check your parts though, they sent me a junction block for my front brakes where the connection going into it didn't fit. Had to reorder that part. Otherwise been happy for the last 2 years.

 

oh almost forgot, did my own pin connecting, that was not fun. Had a hard time tracking down an affordable crimper, i wouldnt go through that again.

 

Bought my set up from them in 2010. No issues with the parts or set up.

 

they are the wal mart of parts and quality if you shop there you should be ok

 

And where did you find the "affordable" crimper? I have not been able to find them!

 

You said it yourself bud a great price (about $524). not top quality however that said a lot of people use them and are very happy if you want top quality then get your wallet out.

I've had two sets of 16's from HCCC installed on my WG. I did not get the pre-wired. Why pay for something that you already paid for and is already installed on the bike (harness, connectors).

My first set got bent when I dropped my bike several years back. Other than that, I have found their bars to be of decent quality at a reasonable price.

I also have to say the one time I've used their customer service line the guy said he had to check inventory and would call me back.....and he absolutely did. I was shocked as hell.

I'd buy from them again.

The only advice I'd give is the cables they sell you in the $299 kits are not high quality. Drag specialties clutch cable has yellowed in under a year. It's cheap. Not HCCC's fault. I'd spend a lil more on some quality cables next time. I've had no issue with the Motion pro throttle cables. The brake line has also remained in good condition. I can't remember who the manufacturer is but it came from HCCC as well.
