I may go with the 12.5" apes. I want my hands to be about chest high, maybe a little higher. I sat on a Road King with 16" apes and they were perfect, however the Fatboy sits a little lower than the Road King so I am thinking the 12.5" may be sufficient.
So far this is what I am planning on buying:
+6 SS braided brake line
+6 SS braided throttle cable
+6 clutch cable
Do I need an idle cable?
I also am only finding cables for softails through 2005.
My bike is an 06, does this matter?
thanks for the help,
WARG
Yup you will need a idle cable. Think mine came in a pack, throttle and idle.
Hey before you order try HDbikeparts.com They helped me out the cables were perfect. All I did was tell them what bike and bars I had, and they got me the right length. I herd about this site from some friends of mine and they both were satisfied as well. Also I think I went +10 on the right side and +8 on the left. Talk to hdbikeparts.com they will know for sure.
