RE: are apes worth the $$$?

Got my 14" Wild1 Bars, Riser kit, cables sitting at the indy shop. We are waiting on the wiring kit and I will have em on my WG. Everything seems to be in slow motion.

I am thinking about putting my 6" risers back on my bike and I am only 5'3"

For the look and comfort that I got after my 16" apes were put on, I feel that it was worth the money. They give me a more comfortable ride and I like the looks of them better than stock. I feel that if you are paying $1000, you are getting ripped off, mine never cost that much. Look around, maybe you can find an independent that will do it cheaper. There's an independent Harley mechanic not far from where I live that has started doing my work because he is more resonable than the dealer and closer. Good luck

RE: are apes worth the $$$?

I called a smaller place for a quote and they told me 800?? This still seems pretty high or is that a more realistic amount? I'm staying away from the HD dealer for sure...

I agree with 10" being too short for a RKC; however, it all depends on how it feels to you. I have 16" and mine and love the comfort and look.

RE: are apes worth the $$$?

way to much especially for ten inches you might not need all new wires and cables for ten inches i have seen some bikes come from the factory with close to 4 inches on cables and more with the wires.
