RE: Apes on the Street Glide?
BadX, all I can say is WOW...the bike so clean! Whats your review on the bars? Is it ok with your hands being above the fairing? Are they comfortable on long rides? Would you do anything diffrent if you did it again?

I also have the same questions for you.Whats your review on the bars? Is it ok with your hands being above the fairing? Are they comfortable on long rides?

mine are 15" paughcos. \\; +8 all the way around on the cables. Wiring these z-bars are \\;NOT for the faint of heart. [sm=helpout.gif]
Cables for 07 &\\; 08 are readily available from Johnny Vaughn at www.HDbikeparts.com \\;

Sorry no pics...but I have the 13" Cyclesmiths on my 08 SG (w/ABS) and freakin love them. \\;\\\\\\; I commute 150 miles round trip everyday...no comfort issues. \\;\\\\\\;
 \\;\\\\\\;
I think you will be happy with any of the apes mentioned here. \\;\\\\\\;  \\;\\\\\\;

BTW, \\; Chili_11, I dig the quote you're rockin' in your signature. \\;

Nick, \\; I love the bars. \\; \\; I've done 450 mile days with them and have had no problems. \\; I can't say I would recommend them for everyone but if you like riding with apes then yes I would recommend them, other than their price being somewhat high compared to others out there they are great bars and the quality is second to none. \\; I went with the super size kit also to save time and PYO shipped everything together and it included everything needed except brake fluid which was helpful also that way there was no guessing on what I needed and the wires were precut to the correct length. \\; I can't think of anything different I would have done and feel this is one of the best projects I have done to the bike as far as making it comfortable for me.

No regrets with mine either. Would like to have gone with the 16's,but didn't want to take a chance.I've had \\;13's before on other bikes and new what they felt like,so it was a no brainer.The cyclesmith bars a wider than stock,so it took some getting use too, but it wasn't a problem.

Hey Chili, \\; take a look on EBAY at auction # 300238783283. \\; It's the Cyclesmith ape hangers, either 13" or 16",  \\;with all the stainless cables and brake lines and the wire extentions for $489.95 and about $50 shipping. \\; Thats a good price. \\; It's an Indy shop in Texas. \\; Think I'm gonna get mine from them. \\; Just wanted to let you know. \\;
you cant go wrong with either the Yaffe or Paughcos. Their both look awesome.
