Have a 2012 48... I was going to go with low z bars but now found roads 6 custom 8" apes...

Does anyone have a set or some pics with a 48 with 8" apes? Possible 10" apes?

 

Here is the link to the bars..... I was think 8" or 10" but can't find any pics!

 

Here's my 48 with the Road 6 8" bars:

 

Wow thanks perfect.... No to decidce if 8" are perfect or go with 10"...

Did you have to change any cables? Extend anything?

 

Had to replace the brake line and cut a few zip ties to let a few of the wires stretch out. I still need to internally wire the bars, and you'll definitely need to extend the wiring if you do that. I just wanted to make sure I liked them before doing that and just haven't gotten around to it. The weather has been too damn nice and I'd rather be riding.

 

See avatar photo...I put 8" mini apes (which I got on clearance at an indie shop; they were dusty!) on my '04 which required 2" longer cables. I had all the switches already taken off the stock handlebars, so I didn't have to contend with those when I made the change.

 

Here's mine with Biltwell Chumps. They are also 8".

 

I also have Road 6 Customs 8" bars. They're very comfortable. You'll have to replace brake line and clutch cable if you go with the 10" bars, only the brake line if you go with the 8" bars.

 

10" should only have to do the brake line, or bend it straight till you find a good deal on a brake line

 

How are the handle bars for your wrists? I have heard people saying it sucks for long rides
