Cool. I just wasn't sure if there was some new way to do this. Been researching some apes and the process for a while. Thanks again

Wild One bars are longer on the left due to using the stock grips I'm told. All other grips will have small gap on the left between the clutch bracket and thicker part of the bar. I simply trimmed that piece off with a cut off disc before I mounted the bars. No issue

Yep, I believe it has to do with in case your using the HD heated grips. They are a little longer on the left side.

IMO it is the best mod you will do to your bike. It really makes a world of difference in rider comfort, especially for long trips.

On a 2014 Street Glide does the hydraulic clutch line and front brake line have enough slack in them for 12" bars safely? Or would I need to get longer lines?

I'm really shooting for 16's too someday. Did you have to get extended brake and clutch cables or did you just need wire extentions you mentioned? The dealer said I'd need brake and clutch cables, so I feel they might be full of it. Thought I'd double check with ya!

Sa me question as ^^^ but different model

Oh and will you post some pictures up please and thanks
