Be careful on the newer WG bars too. There was a recall on them for cracking last year if I'm not mistaken.

If you decide to do the mini-apes there is a guy called muddyape selling his stock Bob bars and cables for a pretty nice price. Cheap way to get your bike set up the way you want to. https://www.hdforums.com/m_2563448/tm.htm

RE: Street Bob bars on 2006 Dyna Superglide
This may be a dumb question. Say I have the bars, clutch, throttle\idle, and brake cables. What about the wiring going to the switch housings(blinkers,starter) ? Are those wires long enough or am I going to have to do something with them ?

They'll make it. It will be tight, but you should be able to pull just enough out of the frame to make it work.
If not, you can always extend it with a kit from Novello.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but how does the 06 superglide handle with the apes?
I love the way my 06 handles and do not want to loose that, but I need to move the bars closer.
Don't like the thought of user risers.

I would be interested in the bars cables, etc. for the 75.00 plus shipping. Let me know shipping to 76306.

My OEM wiring worked as well. I was able to pull a little of the slack out of the harnesses to make them work. I even had the Bob switches and harnesses to replace the SG wiring but didn't need to use them.
I also feel like the bike handles better with the mini apes. The width of the bars made them more comfortable and relieved pain I was experiencing in my shoulders with the buckhorns.

I have them on my '05 and love them.It's amazing how finding the right bar can make your bike fitlike a glove. After some turns getting used to the feel,the handling seems to be just about as good as before, at least it doesto me. They will straighten you up a bit which may affect how you handle turns, I guess, but I expect you'll get used to it right away and won't suffer handling loss worth talking about.
