Default 07 Fatboy bars

Ok, I have a 07 Fatboy and I am wanting to change the factory bars to a set of 10-13 inch apes. I dont want to change the risers, but all the bars I find online are notched down to 1 inch and my risers are 1 1/4 inch. Do any of you know a good site to find non-notched out apes, and does anybody know the cable and wire specs I will need when I change the bars?

That should work for ya.
I changed my risers to use the set down bars.

But I still can't find 1 1/4" risers though.
Not that I'm looking now. It's to late for me.

Here's my 12 1/2" Buffalo bars:

Check out HCC on e-bay they have some "Heftys"....1.25 all round,no riser reductions,can't speak from experience but they say they can provide all cables etc to fit as a package,I'm thinking of using them for some Apes for my NT.

Dude! Those Buffalo Bars are HOT! Better than full blown Apes that get your arms all tired.

Dude I dig those!

Texas,

One question though, did adding the longer cables screw up the action on your clutch?

I've tested out Apes and for some reason a nice clean and easy clutch turned into an Arnold Schwartznegger forearm workout.

Did this happen to you? And if not, how did you prevent that from happening?
