Default Installed 12" Burley Narrow Apes
I installed Burley chrome 12" narrow apes with 1-1/2" risers on my 1998 FXD this weekend removing 9" pull back drag bars. I had the drag bars for about 5 years and wanted to try some narrow apes from Burley. Took me about 3-1/2" hours start to finish including about 1 hour re-soldering all the wires.

All worked out without a problem. I'll post some pics tomorrow if anyone interested.
