94 fatboy wheels and ape hanger kits
Just picked up a 94 fatty a few weeks ago. I'm looking for the best place online to get ape hanger kits. I also have a few people who have wheels they are trying to sell me but I'm not sure if they will fit being as they are from an 05 and a 07 fatboy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Wheels will need massaging if your bike is stock and those wheels are stock. '94 came with tapered bearings and a three quarter inch axle. The years you mentioned came with one inch sealed bearings. Changeable according to some but I've never done it personally.
Ape hanger kits? Hmmmm.....
My reply is to find bars you like and install them yourself. You can practice soldering cheaply and easily. It requires a steady hand, that's all. New bars will run you damn near $800.

Welcome to HDF from the UK. Those wheels will not fit without a lot of effort! As Tom says, they come with different wheel bearings, also they use different brake rotors and rear pulley and will not bolt in. With suitable skills and determination anything can be done, but I suggest you browse HDF on changing wheels before tackling it. I'll save you my views on apes!

Welcome. As noted with axle size changes wheels are not a quick swap. As for apes I've seen places selling prewired bars but the majority are for newer bikes. I bought a set of bars. Then bought all brake, clutch, throttle cables after measuring approximate length. The I cut and extended wires running them through the bars. Staggering the wire splices is key to ease of feeding wires through bars. Post up some pics.
