Question New bars question
I have a 99 Fatboy and my question is do you think with these bars can I still use the stock cables and wiring, or do I have to get every think new. Maybe these pix will help not the best. My bars are 10" high and 35" wide.


Roland Sands Vintage apes
12" height
30" width
4" pullbck
6.5" across the bottom of the bars

I got 10" now but I was thinking since everything is narrower they might work, but you don't think so ha.

Frank, I can't wait to see these bars on your bike. It is going to look great and I hope the cables you have fit. I have a good feeling about it.
