Looking to do apes on my 04 custom also... But Im confused??? 14's or 16's??? Help!!! I will be getting rid of the current riser so I will be losing a few inches.Are 16's to much on a sporty?? I will also do internal wiring and will need a new speedo mount which I heard is the most expensive part of the whole project.
