Default Apes

Hi all
I'm thinking of 14" burly apes for my 883 iron,what I wanted to know do they ever slip in the risers as I've heard with high apes you might have to pin them.Any help or info would be great.

Make sure you buy bars that are knurled then they won't slip!

Checkout zombies bars. They have nice bars and you can add knurling, wiring relief, internall wiring. Anything you want.

The kit is made for bikes with 2" risers. My 48 has 0" rise so for me 12" kit with 14" bars would be perfect. Your iron has 2" risers but to be honest I think you could get away with a 12" kit. But if you consider going even "higher" in the future I would do the 14" kit.

14" bars with 12" kit on my 48...personally, i could add my 2" risers and i'd have plenty of slack in the cables.

I have the Burly 14" bars w/ 14" wiring, mine have slipped a couple times. The last time I re-torqued the clamp I used Loctite on the bolts and they haven't moved since. Here's a pic of mine, you can see there is a bit of extra slack on the cables:
