I've got an 06 fatboy I picked up with drag bars, and although I like the dragbars, I wanna throw some 16 inch apes on the fatboy. I could use some suggestions as to what you guys think. Aftermarket is fine, if its a good product.
I need the apes, cables and since the straight bars come up out of my trees, I'll need a clamp for the bars.
Any of the better known brands of bars should work fine. But you are going to need a set of risers and top clamp if your bars are bolted directly to the top triple tree.
Collect the parts, put them on and then start measuring for the cables and wires.
Good thing its not riding season cause this is going to take a while to complete before the bike is ridable again.
If the price doesn't scare you away, you'd love the Carlini Flyin or Gangster apes. I have the 16" x 1.5" gangsters on mine. They look fantastic, and they give you a comfortable arm position while still following the lines of the bike.
I love showing this thing off. Thanks for the opportunity.
