Thanks so much for taking the time. Hope you're available for follow-up questions.

No problem Brother. I sent the above info to crimson13 awhile back. Not sure if it helped him or not, but it looks like he got the bars on.

these are the Paul Yaffe BaggerNation apes 10" but they are actually 12" rise keep that in mind. They are on my 2006 Street Glide. you can run the wires internal or external. I did internal and had plenty.of wire just had to reroute the clutch side wire in the fairing. No way in hell was the brake line going to work so I got a +6 brake line kit but a +4 would have worked but the +6 was all my Indy had on his shelf and I wanted to get the job done and not wait. My throttle cables worked fine had to adjust them and that was a bitch for some reason. Clutch cable was too short to run inside the fairing and I moved it up and under and its fine now. Plugged the hole with a .65 plastic 1" plug from ace hardware. Stock mirrors work with 12" apes but are not the best. I might get some bar mounted ones from demons cycle no sense in spending $200+ on mirrors. Here's some pics .

Did you have to run any wires inside the bars when you used the road6 bars?

Thanks,
Brian

I got 10" yaffe's and absolutely love them. I wanted the look to stay at fairing height. The stock fairing mirrors were useless to me so I got bar mounted mirrors. I don't regret the height either

If you go to 12" the lurch and brake line needs exta inches. The electrics should be fine

Did you have to change any of the cables/lines or extend any wires? I know I didn't put in the bushings that came with mine (still sitting in the bag) but I'd think you'd want to for sure with a trike.

And throw a pic up. I'd like to see a trike with mini apes.
