I am looking to put 12.5" to 14" ape hangers on my 06 Heritage Classic, andif anyone has pics of your Heritage with any of these bars, I would like to see them. I am 5'8" so I think 16" apes are out...
Thanks
Don't count them out yet! I am 5'6 with 16" apes. Though I have short legs, my torso is probably close to yours in length. I ride with my hands about 1/2" to 1" above shoulders.

Check out Chrome Lady, she has 14" wild one chubbies on her Deluxe.
Hey CNC...Those 14" apes on Chrome Lady's scoot are exactly what I am looking for....I am getting the Wild-1 14" apes mounted to 3 1/2 risers...Was curious what size (clutch,throttle,idle,electrical,etc.) cable sizes you went with?? Want to minimize down-time, and order everything at once!! Was told +8 on the clutch and +10 on the rest...Would like a few more opinions on actual fitments...
Thanks, Rob.

Rob:

Chrome lady has all +8 stuff, if you are doing the 3 or 4 inch riser, do +10's.

Good luck, and Wild ones are nice and comfy!
