Default Superglide Apes!
Got these 15" chubbies from a buddy - just finished cleaning them up today after two days of work putting them on. They changed the look of the bike and the ride kicks acsss!

Looks good!

It took me a little while to get used to my 13" Chubbies, but they are pretty nice now.

The apes look good. Were you able to use stock cables? If not what did you go with?

No chance using the stock cables, way too short. I got a package deal from my friend so I'm not sure of the brand/size/original cost, but if you need the specs I can probably find out.

How hard was it to internal wire the bars. Looks great.

Thanks - the internal wiring was already done because we just pulled the bars off my buddies bike - but he did say it was a pain to get them in there when he originally installed them.

Traveler - nice bike! Next on my list is a solo seat

Wildbill,
They look really good.
Does your detachable windshield still fit?

The bars look good ...Now you need to find a set of wide glide triple trees to match the width of the bars ...
