I just installed the 14" Narrow Apes with the 14" cable/wire install kit. They are both great products. All the hoses and cables are black rubber in the install kit. With the included instructions and the service manual I had no problem getting it all done including internally wiring the bars. I got it done in a single afternoon. The extensions for the switches are super easy to install and was the part I was worried most about before tearing into it.

I put Burly drag bars on my FXST. No problems. Installation was no problem, & the looked great. I didn't have to change wiring or cables.

It should be fine so long as the bars are roughly the same size as the bars indicated by the install kit. I highly recommend the installation kit especially to those who have never done a switch to taller bars. I felt the instructions were great, but it does tell you to refer to the service manual for the details of hooking the throttle/idle, clutch, and front brake lines up. It has absolutely everything you need to do the install, and the price is great. I priced out all the cables and what not at my local dealer and it was going to be way more expensive to buy everything separately.

Did not deal with their handle bars, but the slammer kit was a great product. Good quality and easy to install.
