Default putting on new bars tomorrow, any suggestions

I am putting on my 12.5 inch apes tomorrow on my 04 RKC and was wondering if anyone had any tips ot things that would make the job a little easier.&nbsp\\; I have the manual and all the parts, so now is the fun part, the labor.&nbsp\\; Any suggestions would be great, Thanks.&nbsp\\; Jon

My suggestion is to be certain you don't want 16"ers before you do the install.&nbsp\\; Saves you a go-round!

12.5 is way to small. Don't put anything less than 14".&nbsp\\; Believe me, you will end up buying bigger bars later.
&nbsp\\;
I am 5'8"&nbsp\\;and had the Wildone 12.5's. I now have the 16". When I first bought the bars they did not have 14" apes, now they do. I am happy with my 16" apes and would not get anything less.
&nbsp\\;
If you are sure you don't want 16" apes then get the 14".&nbsp\\; The 12.5's are to narrow.
