Apes

I really want to put some fat ape hangers on my FXDFSE2 CVO Fat Bob. But there seems to be a problem because of hydraulic clutch. Can anyone elaborate and is there an option?

No problem with mine, the master cylinder on the left side mirrors the right side. Fit fine on the 1.25" Carlini Apes I had installed...

I've been asking about this too, been told that I can treat it as another break line. Anyone able to shed some light on this?

How fat? I put 12.5 Wild1 Apes on my SERGU and was even able to keep all original wiring. Not sure what would impact the hydrolic clutch.

If you need to lengthen the line you can just get brake line and then an adapter that goes from line to the transmission. It can be tricky to get it tightened without pulling the exhaust or at least it was on mine but pretty straight-forward install.
