Mini Apes on a Super Glide
Like many of y'all, I've been thinking about changing out the bars on my FXDC. This is not another "how do you do it" post cause I know there's a boatload of tips when you search the subject. The interesting thing was when I went to the dealer to sit on some of the Street Bobs to get a feel for the bars, the 2011 Bob has internal wiring, and I thought they all did. The earlier years were external wiring, so I ordered a set for the 2011's. The price for the older ones was $69 vs. $101 for the new bars. Anyway, just interesting and glad I checked them out first.

dFredb,
Great choice in bars!
I just recently replaced my non-internal-mini-apes with internal-mini apes. I think you will enjoy the comfort and clean look of no control wires. It really is a nice addition. Ithink that mini apes look fantastic on the FXDC!
Cheers,
Tom

I'm going to the dealer to see about the cables, throttle lines etc. I'm thinking I can go with the stock lines off of the Street Bob, but I want to see if they are available in diamond back braided. I'll post the bar numbers and the rest after I get home tomorrow.

They are 1 inch. The first set of bars I looked at were stock on the '08 Wide Glide and Street Bob, so they must have went with the internal after that. 56079-93T is the number on the older bars.

I was mistaken. The bars on all the Street Bobs are wired internally. Don't know how I missed that. Anyway, all the parts are in except the clutch cable and the bars themselves. I am as excited as a kid on Christmas eve! I'll try to do a step by step photo record of the install so others might be helped.
