Default 16" apes on a Fatboy Lo
16" apes from Hill Country Custom Cycles. Did the work my self and saved $600.00. It was worth the two day installation. The wiring was the biggest pain out of the whole ordeal. Love the look and feal of the bike way better now that with those stock bars.

Looks great, man!

I've been looking for a new pair of bars for my FB Lo... Did HCCC supply the wiring kit as well?

two days=wiring problems. HCCC did not pre wire the bars because they only had chrome and i wanted to use my stock black ones to keep the look going. I like the stainless cables, but wish i would have gotten the black diamond ones instead.

Bike looks great, and the bars look perfect. How tall are you? They look right for your height.

5'11 they are right above my shoulders. The bike handles so much better with the added leverage of the bars.
