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?
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.

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.
