Default 10 inch handlebar recommendations - softail slim flsl

Looking for some 10 inches apes.

Any recommendation?

Aside from clutch and brake line, what else do I need?

I've gotten the above from my FLHC after I went to 16"

Where can I get extensions for switches, throttle and lights?
My only dealership doesn't have them in stock.

Check out KSTs adjustable bars.

They have 10inchers in 3 styles that are 3 piece that make them easier to wire, and give 2 point adjustability to them.

I'm happy with my 10" Todd's on my 14 slim. YMMV

Lots of places make the electric cable extenders. You probably don’t need them this long and some do make shorter. But here is an example: https://www.kstkustoms.com/products/...resent-touring
just get them with the harnesses and save yourself trouble. Include “electric” in your search. Wire extensions or electric cable extensions should find what you need. Subtract the rise on the stock bars from the rise on the new bars and add any additional tip to tip width to get the minimum length you need.

Hello, I’ve got a set of 10” x 1 1/4” Todd’s bars for sale that I purchased for my 18 slim, but decided to go taller so I never installed them. Let me know if interested. Thanks

I have a set of Dean Speed KD T 1 1/4. I got the 8 in but am taking them to 10 in and probably changing to the 10 version as I like the bars but need just a bit higher since mines lower the normal great bars and didn’t have to change the wires/cable
