Default Heritage Classic Bars

I am about to chrome my front end and would like to add chubby bars to it to hide wiring. Any advice and/or pics from anyone already done this to your bike? What model/type bars?

Thanks,
Rihcard

What style bars are you thinking of?. I wanted to get the Chubby 12.5 apes but they didn't have the pullback I needed so I went with the 518 RKII bars.

Was thinking of the 12.5" apes also. just want something similar to the feel I have today with my OEM bars, but not opposed for a different look that has the similar feel as well.

The Wild 1 502's are pretty nice.

I had them on my '04 Road King and currently have them on my '05 Softail.

That being the case sounds like they'd be perfect for you. Dealer will probably charge you between 5-8hrs labor so it's definitely a diy job imo.

Funny thing. You're doing a chrome front end of thinking of doing handlebars while I'm doing a handlebars and thinking of putting a chrome front end on.

Thanks everyone - I am probably going with the Wild 1 12.5" Chubbys, just hope my braided cables will reach? I don't want to have to swap cables out also.
