Got the same one on mine. It's a Harley part and I couldn't find any under $35 when I was looking.

Hi. HD dealer in my city insist that necessary to order new longer wires if I want to change the stock handlebar into to your variant ( 10'' hight). But you said, that standard ( stock) wires are ok and NO necessary to change.
If you please to give me more information ( may be photos, description if you have etc) for my next debates with dealer.
Kondrat.

Anyone know if stock wires will reach on a 12" Strip bar? I heard sometimes there is a little excess under the tank.

Gr Mario,

Hey,

Looking to get some Apes like yours on my Slim. Figured 12' s but I am 5' 8" maybe 10"s would be a better choice.

Curious how tall you are? Where do you hands sit in relation to your shoulders?

Another thing is with 10" no need for rewire and cabling.

Supposedly I will with 12"s.

Thanks.

Default The definitive word

Hi all
Picked up my new Slim S (black), 4 days a go and can't fault it. It's my first new HD ever, in fact my first proper HD period.

So now need to fit 10" Todds 1.5" strip bars and need the definitive word from all who have fitted apes to their slim/slim s please.

I build bikes but have never played with a new HD so I'll happily take advice here.

1. Is there really enough free cable/wiring/brake hose to allow the fitting of 10" apes without re-wiring etc?

2. Is the removal of the internal wiring straight forward, is the refitting easy too.

I'm being lazy here but I really don't want to start stripping until I have all the facts from you Slim experts out there.

Much appreciated
Ron

Not all 10" fit with existing lines. Depends on width.
Most bitch about internal swaps
