One of the mods was to move up to 16" JMC apes.
Man they are just great.

I recently picked up a 16 Ultra Limited. Im looking to put either 10" or 12" LA Choppers Twin Peaks on it. I was pretty set on the 10" but am still considering the 12"s. For those of you that have the Twin Peaks how far can you roll them back? I see most people talking about rolling them forward but not rolling them back. I figure I could go with 12"s and that would give me a little more adjustability if I can roll them back enough to get behind the fairing.

just picked up a 15 street glide special deep jade pearl and i has 10" harley bars and i dont like em at all. i wanna go bigger because i cant see out of the stock mirrors. im 6'1" too. i wanna keep stock mirrors and am looking at finding a good set of thick 1-1/2" bars probabl 12" to 14" height. i know vindikta makes nice ones but the fairing mod scares me... dont wanna **** it up and cut too much and look like a hack job.. whats all involved with the mod? pics?
also if i can avoid cable extending that would be great, i know ill have to extend wires but dont wanna spend extra on new clutch and brake lines.
what other thick bars are outh there? everyone by me has yaffes. looking for something different then what everyone else has.

I put these 13" yaffes on my 16 sgs myself. The wiring was a little bit of a battle but not bad. Also found that wire extensions weren't needed. I just unhooked them from the bottom of the radio and routed them back to the bars. Saved a few bucks there. I have the the la choppers primeapeson my 08 sg and I like the yaffes better. But whatever you choose I think you will like. Anything is better than the stock bars on these bikes. They made me feel like I was pushing a lawnmower down the street. Now I'm way more comfortable. Good luck and be safe.
didnt know them made a 13.... thats what i want

The pic I have is too large of a file to upload it says. If you have email or cell number pm me and I'll send you the pic I have. Yes the fairing mount mirrors still work with the 12".
