Default APES INSTALLED! Short Fat Mexican Rides Again!
Just wanted to post an update and thanks everyone who helped with my Ape install. If I had looked through Drag and given my local HD dealer the parts numbers myself it wouldn't have taken me a week. I would have finished in two days, about seven hours total. If anyone is doing this and needs some good accurate stock and after cable lengths I have that info. SPECIAL THANKS TO jss1375snow and SC-Longhair. These guys are awesome and answered every question and helped with a lot of info.

Yeah, 14" Burly Narrow Glide. To me the most amazing part of this whole experience was that I got new bars, mirrors, levers and cables for about $400. Before I got in to it I was expecting to spend a lot more. I'm still waiting on one mirror and my levers (black) then I'm going to look into getting the 180 rear tire kit that HD sells.

Was there much of a visual difference between the standard apes and the 14*s and when your sitting on the Bob is there much difference in the hight or angle of where your hands are in regards to the OE apes... the 4" difference ??

Thanks for the info : )
