Default Super Glide Mini Narrow Apes

I have a 2011 Super Glide with Buckhorn style bars. I want to put these Mini-Apes on my bike.

TC BROS. 1" NARROW MINI APES HANDLEBARS - 8" CHROME

Does anyone know if a new brake cable and throttle cabes are needed?

Thanks in advance!

A month or so ago I did exactly what you're planning.
Make sure you get the dimpled bars if you're using factory controls. The wires need to tuck up into the dimple.
I didn't have to extend any cables or wiring, I just had to crack the brakeline loose and adjust the angle (hopefully that makes sense)
. I even added a 1" spacer under my risers.

Which handlebars did you use? Your Bike pic is exactly what I want mine to be like.

I used the TC Bros. 1" Narrow Mini Apes Handlebars 8" Chrome Dimpled.
I bought them from TC Bro's ebay store.

Got them installed. This is a big improvement to the Buckhorn style for me. I didn't like the buckhorn bars at all. Stock cables and brake line. Easy fit. I love them!

I had buckhorns on my 95 Dyna and wasnt loving them much. Swapped them out for a set of 8-inch Heritage bars which are similar to the ones you have there. I had to tweak the brake line a little but otherwise, everything bolted right up, no new cables or wires needed.

Default Similar to 2011 FXDB.

Those bars that the OP installed are very similar to those that came on my former 2011 FXDB Street Bob.
