Finally put the Carlini apes on
The 1.5s are a perfect diameter for the deluxe/heritage. They are 'chunky' bikes, so the thickness of the bars blends in nice.
The bars are 14", but they are a big 14". I got cabling for a 16" bar and it's a perfect fit. Get the NAMZ cable extenders... Plug and play and they fish thru the bars without a problem. Probably saved an hour or two.
If you're doing it yourself, take the tank off and put the bike on a stand. I couldn't imagine doing it on the jiffy stand. Also to properly route and secure the throttle cables, you'll need to have the tank off.
Almost have it back together and will post up some pics once she's all buttoned up.

Looks great!
I got the 1.5" dia 16" Flying apes in the garage waiting to go on probably next weekend as I'm tied up with my daughters soccer. Can't wait to get these things on, the 1.5" looks bad ***. Just curious, how long are your cables?

I got the Harley cables for 16" bars.... Not sure of their part #s.
The Harley cables are expensive, but damn they're nice and everything fit perfect.

I was just curious if you knew the lengths over stock. I ordered my magnum cables through Dr V-Twin and based on my bars and the bike they said I would need +12 on all of them. Based on the numerous threads I've seen on here this seems like they'll be too much but I guess I'll find out next week.
