Not to hi-jack the post, but for those of you interested in this clean look and have some cash it might be worth considering HHI’s new Ape’s. I saw these in Sturgis and I fell in love. They are costly, but if you factor the bars, hydro clutch, new master cylinder, internal throttle, switches etc, you are getting a lot for your money. When I spoke with them they mentioned that they are backlogged by a couple of months, so keep that in mind if you want to go this direction. http://hawghalters.com/Handlebars/Ha.../prod_493.html

Going to get my stuff from Exile today. Already have the bars and all and it will cost a tone less than those although they are nice looking. I wills till avhe a master cylinder on the bars, but that is it. Switch housings will be gone. Hoping to get this done this weekend. Grip ace for the buttons on the left grip. A tutorial will be provided for anyone wishing to do the same shortly.

I'd like to see that. NOBODY is even close to Exile in the clean bars department. I'd love to have the full exile rig, with twist clutch and internal throttle.

Drew I hope the handle bars you are using are not dimpled for the wiring. The bares need to be the throttle by wire style.

Old thread, but who cares? Looks sick.

Are you saying that you can't use an internal throttle with dimpled bars?

You can but all depends on the internal throttle mount. It is just way easier with throttle by wire bars.

I have the same bats and used an exile internal throttle. I hid to weld it to the bars as the dimpling made it so that it was impossible to just attach it with set screws and have it stay in place.
