Default 12 inch bat wing mini apes

Just installed HD 12 inch mini apes on my 2011 Street glide , did not need to change any cables all wiring BUT if you want to keep your wires external you will have to extend the hole in the top as they will only fit internal wiring and when they say mininal put pullback there not kidding I have owned 9 harleys over the years and these bars would be the biggest heap of crap I have ever fitted to a bike the pullback is all wrong and painfull

Here's mine. The only thing I've found I don't like is the wrist angle but it only bothers me on longer rides

Yes they will fit with external cables and wires using stock length it just takes some rerouting and cutting some of the stock zip ties and putting new ones in after they wires are loosened up. I put them on my 2013 Street Glide and did not change any cables or wiring. I did have to reroute the clutch cable inside of the fairing because from the factory it is run over the radio brace and can be run into the radio brace giving you several inches of slack. The wiring harness inside the fairing needed to be adjusted to give a bit more slack by cutting some of the stock zip/cable ties and creating a few inches of slack then putting new zip ties in to replace the cut ones.

Yeah pullback on them is pretty minimal and I rolled mine back away from the fairing so they are not flat but not tilted way back either. Whether pullback does it for you is really subjective though and I am 5'11" with about 2' reach on my arms so its pretty comfortable for me the way it is with the stock seat. If I had a seat that put me farther back it would be really bad. A seat that put me an inch or so forward would be comfortable with them close to the fairing I think. I got lucky on mine and they had been used as a demo wall hanger at the dealer so were a little scuffed but 40% off.

Here is a few pics of mine.
