These came with the bike. I think that they’re LA Choppers 14” apes.

I have the Burly 14" apes. A little wider grip than the Wild Ones.

The apes on my bike are Wild Ones 12.5” apes. Wild ones measures weird though cuz they actually measure a tad over 14” with a tape measure. If you want a set of 14” bars these’ll likely fit the bill

I just cut the wires and added in some wire to extend them. Cut them in a staggered way so the splices are not
all in the same place. Also added some extra tape where they go into the bars just for added protection.
Easy to do, and no messing with the pins..

Which bars did you get, and where did you get them pre-wired with chrome controls? Mind if I ask what that kind of thing runs?

Cool thanks. It's interesting, they have a black friday sale about to end, and you can get either the WIld 1s or Burly's I was looking at, or the HCC ones you linked to, but at the bottom in the full description, it says they don't include the turn signal components or wiring, but you can request turn signal wiring for an additional cost, but it doesn't specifically say they'll include the necessary components, and ramble on about something mounted to the forks, I don't get what they're saying there. What was your experience with that, I kind of like using my turn signals lol

Note: Some models come with turn signals mounted on the handlebar controls. Due to the added cost and complexity of these components, they are not included in our kit. We can add the wiring for the turn signals for an additional fee if needed. Most of our customers discard them or mount them to forks and we have brackets available to accommodate this modification. Please call us or enter your request for Turn Signal wiring in the comment section at checkout.

they are talking about bikes with handlebar mounted turn signals. If you dont have that its not a concern.
