I have dyna wide-glide handlebars on my sporty and love them. Think they are 10" mini-apes.

To install the Dyna Low bars on a 1200/883C all you will need to do is:
1. Reroute the throttle cables outside of the triple tree instead of through it.
2. Install a longer brake line or you may be able to rebend the metal portion of the brake line (to gain sufficient slack) and relocate the brakeline clip.

The clutch cable and wiring do not need replaced or extended.

Hope this helps.

I've heard a lot of talk about Dana low bars on a sporty, A friend of mine has a Low Rider and I like the bar's on her bike. I would like to see them on a sporty. Does anyone have them on there bike now? If so how about a couple of pictures.

I have the dyna low rider handlebars on my 2006 883 Custom. I'll post some pictures shortly. One of the nice things was the handlebar swap didnt require any wire changes, the brakeline P-clamps were loosened and the line shifted up a couple inches but other than that everything was left alone. I think these are probably the widest bars you can put on before you truly would need to change out some cables.

Pics to follow.
