Thank you offthewall. I am officially an idiot. For some reason I had it stuck in my head the extension would tie into the handle switch. I didn't realize it is extended from the fairing side. Your pictures helped. How well did your heated grip module fit inside your bar. Mine is extremely tight and makes me uncomfortable forcing it in?
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?
I have not see any apes low enought to use the stock faring mirors.. might as well keep stock bars.. like i said i went with 10s little taller than stock.. i had to get new mirriors which i mounted on the controls. took a little bit to get use to but l like them now.
i like much the fairing mounted ones, therefor that would be my choice.
Once is saw here creme coloured bike and installation guide who had also withthe mounting mirrors but cant find the post
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.
