The left side with the heated grip control **** was a VERY tight fit but it does eventually slip right in. I used a very very small back and forth twisting motion (1or 2 degrees) to ease it in.

I went with LA choppers 10 inch.. Brought my hands right to the top of the Faring.. Very confortable have put about 2000 miles on. I did how ever have to buy the HD wire extension kit.. Was about 30$ from the dealer. Not to bad easy to do your self.

Dear Friends,


I have three question :


1) HD # 57474-11 (Chrome Batwing Mini-Ape Handlebar) handlebar-mounted mirrors is not possible to use - is that right and true ?


2) HD#56176-08 (Batwing Reduced Reach Handlebar) handlebar-mounted mirrors is not possible to use - is that right and true ?


3) Which Ape for short arm riders are recommendable with keeping the fairing mirrors ?

I see no reason why handlebar mounted mirrors can't be used. What else would you use?

If you are asking if you can still use the fairing mounted mirrors, the answer is yes. That is what I use. You just have to kind of look under your arms. You get use to it.
