Default RSD apes

So spring is near and its almost time for me to get the Harley out to ride once again. But before I do I want to install a set of RSD 16" apes and a few other things. My question is this,
What size should I get for the install? some are 1" OD some are 1 1/8" OD and some are 1 1/4" OD? also what about center width? The bike is a 2012 Dyna Wide Glide.

Thanks for any help!
Rodney

3.5" for the knurling for the risers. +8 for the cables. As far as diameter 1.25" look the best and are the easiest to pull the wiring through.

You're gonna need new risers too. The stock fxdwg risers clamp 1.25"... the RSD bars taper down at the clamp to 1".

I ordered from Burly, the kit was as expensive as my damn bars. In retrospect, I would have gone with braided lines........

Nice bike! I also have a 2012 SB in denim and wanted to throw some king apes on. Seems not too many members have these bars so I'm glad to hear that you like them. Also love the RSD derby cover!
