Default Cwilks Ape question

I am trying to figure on all the other parts I am going to need to do my 13s on my ultra other than the bars. You wouldn't happen to have a parts list of yours would you?? Little stuff I know I will run into like banjo connectors and covers and crap like that. If you don't have a list just jog you memory and see what you can remember.

Gobbler,

I didn't change the brake lines so I didn't need banjo fittings and all that...........what I did is I found a used brake line set-up (I have a buddy that runs his own shop and he had a bunch of take-offs) and I cut my stock steel line (inside the fairing) and used a compression fitting and put the two lines together (yeah I know alot of people don't feel comfortable with comp. fittings but my buddy does it all the time without a problem). I used the old gasket on the clutch housing (at the tranny) and I think I explained everything else in the link izzi put up..............let me know if ya got any other ??? Good Luck......your going to luv em

Cwilks

Awsome looking ride. I'm going to put apes on my FLHX before spring, I see you have 16" apes. My question is how tall are you, and what is your reach? The reason I ask is I'm trying to decide between the 13" and 16" Cyclesmiths. I am only 5' 10" talland about a 24" reach, and I want my hands at sholder hight, any input would be great, thanks.
