Default Looking at new bars....
I have a 2011 Super Glide Custom, and I'm looking at some different bars. Does anyone have a FXDC with Street Bob bars? My buddy has a 2011 Street Bob and is getting new bars for it. I can have his, but I wanted to know how it looked before I bought new cables and whatnot. Which leads me to another question: would I even need to get longer cables for those mini apes?

Were you able to keep the cables or did you have to buy new ones?

Default Added 10" mini apes to the 11 FXDC
I did not have to switch out the cables using 10" mini-apes. Had I gone any taller, i would have.

Are they the Harley mini-apes? And your cables have no problems in turns or anything?
