Are those the bars you been waiting on squid? Those are bad ***. Are they sitting on 2" spacers or do they flare out on the bottom?

 

Yep...funny story about the spacers. I'll update the club thread once I'm done with the cabling tonight so I don't hijack yet another one. ;-)

 

that is a really good idea! i was so frustrated doing mine i called my dad, he came though as usual, said in the 70's he used baby powder on cables to make them easier to feed though frames, i should try that... worked like a charm!

Good luck man. Took me a couple months of looking at the bike and sitting on it a few times a day. I always wanted 8" tbars and after I had them I realized they weren't comfortable for me on my bike. I'm sure they are all different but sometimes you don't know until you bolt it up.

 

I do like the look of the thicker gauge more beefy style apes. The narrow ones (like from Burly) are too skinny looking.

I would definitely go with the riser like you have them. I'll PM you.

 

Carlini Pist Apes would look good. Addressing the internal wiring issue, you can also use small link dog leash chain to run through the bars to break off weld slag and help smooth sharp edges internally. It helped me with my install a lot. The chain also fishes through the bars real easy.

 

They look good. I guess I just don't know how to decide between apes or t-bars. I like the look of the apes for my bike for that bobber styling. I've never rode t-bars so I don't know how different they would feel. I just notice a lot of people go with them so there is a reason for it. All i know is whatever I do will be black and aggressive looking

 

If your going to stick with the slammed look I'd stay with apes. 14" would look good and still be easy to ride. If I were going to build a slammed sb and stick with the bobber look I'd go with a set like the ones we put on my buddies rk. These are 16" but I really dig the way they look. Sharp angles but not too bad to pull the wires through. Also one thing you could do to change the look of the bike without buying new bars is loosen your top clamp and push the bars forward a bit so they're not at the same angle as the front end.

 

I was debating on installing apes or t-bars on my 2010 FXDC, and decided on t-bars. I dig the handling with the t-bars. I have 8" rise on mines, and I plan on adding extensions (2").
