Default Hill Country Apes - Opinion?
I'm looking at the Hill Country, pre-wired apes. Anyone have an opinion as to quality and service?

TIA

I ordered from them a couple of weeks ago...they sent me the correct bars but I didn't car for how they looked on my bike. I didn't have any issues returning them and exchanging for another set. I haven't received those yet but I'll let you know when I do. Staff was very helpful and responsive.

I order the hill country 14" chrome apes pre wired with the plugs installed (extra $95 well worth it to me) I got them a couple weeks agor they were really quick and everything they said they delivered I was very happy with them. Hopefully I will be installing this weekend. But I would definately do business with them again.

I didn't wind up going with their kit but they were extremely helpful and patient on the phone and I don't think I've heard a bad comment about them

My son got his 16s from them in mid 07. They still look new. Good company to deal with.

I got my Apes from HCC a couple of years ago. Everything was good but after about two seasons the switches that they came prewired with started to give out so I replaced them last year with the Harley extended length switch control kit.
