Wild 1 Chubby 12" Outlawz Installation
#11
Mine came with stock mini apes and they measure about 12" (maybe 11"...hard to tell exactly) and they are on 1" risers. So my thought was that I could go with the 12" Wild 1 Outlawz and be able to use my stock wiring... that size was comfortable to me on my stocks but I like the way the Outlawz look better and I wanted the wiring internal.

I went with the chromite lines from magnum shielding when I put 16" gangster apes on my 08 heritage. I ended up going +8" on everything and it worked out great, the clutch and throttle are real smooth way better than my stock HD lines and they look awesome. When I did my sporty I went with 14" Burly narrow apes and their 14" cable kit. The Burly cable kit is great and I am not trying to knock their product in anyway but I did notice a differance in how smooth the opperation was. I am sure there are many other variables as well as the lines. The Burly cables are all black and while they work on my sporty since it is satin black to begin with I gotta say the chrome lines on the heritage just have a lot more of a finished look to them.
If not, looks like I will be buying cables from Magnum Shielding. If anyone knows of any other lines (other than the HD ones), please let me know.

Oh crap... thanks for the heads up! O was going to move that off the tank but I forgot. I didn't realize it could leak though.... YIKES! That would be a disaster!

Now if the bars would just get here!

Got the bars in today but of course, nothing can go smooth.
I was able to use feed the wires through the bars, even keeping the stock tubing on them. It was tight but with a little WD40, they finally came through. Also, good news is all my switch housing wires are reaching just fine. But...
Went to put on the bars and what do ya know? My risers won't fit the handlebars. The middle part of the handlebars measures in a 5-1/8". The measurement on the outside of my risers is 5-3/16"... it's off my 1/16".
When I called Wild 1 to order these bars, they said they would fit my stock risers and everything should fit perfect.
Not sure what I do now other than call Wild 1 or get new risers... anyone have any tips? Other than this, I LOVE the way the bars look!
