Default Another ape question
Firts off I love the site, lots of great info. Now on to my question, is there anyone out there that makes an all inclusive kit to put apes on my 05 Deluxe, or am I left to piece it together myself. I'm thinking of going with something in the 14 to 16" range with one inch straight risers. Any info would be great. Thanks guys.

Hill City Cycles on ebay sells complete kits. I think they may even have them pre run but at a premium price

By "all Inclusive", do you mean bars, risers, cables and electrical wires?? That I am not sure of!! I got my 14" apes with 1.5" risers from Wild 1.

pick your bars, enter your bike and he'll send you everything you need to do the job.

When you pick your bars the biggest thing i would consider is pullback. I rode 16" apes with 4" pullback and loved them. Then i switched because of the police pulling me over twice for bars too high Ct and NY. (no ticket i think they wanted to see if i was dwi.)
I put 12" apes and the pull back is like 10" and it handels like crap. I am trining to find a more agressive bar compatible with my Fatboy that i can run hard on the back roads. in New England. EZD
