Softail Custom Ape Install
I finally finished up my ape install on my FXSTC. I went with the Carlini 16" Gangster Apes in 1.5" diameter and the Big Buffalo risers.
Johnny Vaughn at HDbikeparts.com was a big help in setting me up with the cables. I hear good things about HCC but I was more than pleased with Johnny.
Thanks to all who have documented their ape installs. The information was great! I don't think there's much more to add. It does sound like each change has it's own set of challenges. I didn't have a torque wrench so I went and bought one. I broke two of the transmission cover allen screws before I figured out the torque wrench was defective.
Anyway here's some pics. Now it just needs to warm up.
