Question about super glide handle bars
I have a quick question. I want to replace my stock handle bars on my 13 super glide with either drag bars or ape hangers. I cant decide which to go with because i like the looks of both.
But my questions is, if i go with drag bars, would i need to replace any of the lines and cables?
If i go with ape hangers, how high can i go before needing to start replacing the lines and cables

These days H-D don't give you a lot of slack in the cables so 10" Apes may even be a push.
Drags would probably be the go but undo your bars and hold them up to get an idea of how much slack ya got....often its the brake line that gives you the most problems.

If you want a great look at a cheep price look into putting stock fat bob bars on. I picked up some new take offs for 75 bucks and put them on my nephews dyna.
Turned out nice.

I had Street Slammers installed on my '12 when I bought it new. All stock cables and wiring. This winter I added Bung King 1 1/2" extensions under the risers and could probably go another inch if I wanted. I think the bars have a 6 1/2" rise, so I am up to 8" now.

I was just looking at the street slammers. They look nice. I think I may go with apes. I've always wanted them on a bike. But I keep seeing pics of drag bars and they are growing on me too. I tested out a street bob and really liked the feel and reach of the bars. I've never tried out ape hangers. Might wait until I get a chance so I will know for sure if I would like them.

That looks pretty cool! Is the pull-back similar to the stock buck horns?
