Default 08 Night train...Ape ideas?!

I just signed the papers on an 08 Night train. Before picking it up i want to change the bars to either 12 or 14 inch apes. I have Wild1 bars on my heritage but they are very wide at the risers, Looking for a more sleek, agressive look. Any suggestions? Im not sure if I like the carlini bars, plus they arent cheap! thanks!

I'm curious about how handle bar changes will work on the 08's.Do they all have the throttle by wire?How does that work if you have to extend it?

To put on apes, you pretty much have to extend all of your wires and cables...throttle, clutch, brake and all the wires. It ain't cheap.

i have baby apes on m 07 NT.

I think the cables are too long and may have to have them changed out. The dealer that did the install work is not as good as i would have liked.

That's what I'm wondering about.Can you extend the new electronic throttle wire?
