Default Bar change with pics

First off a big thumbs up to Hill Country Custom on their kit. Every thing fit perfect. I went from stock to 12" bars and added new chrome contols. I havent rode it to far yet but it feels alot better on my back and I seem to have more control over the bike.

Looks sharp, I have a set of WO 575's waiting to go on the SG over the winter.
But also have been pondering ordering a set of 14" apes all pre wired and Crome controls from them for the Fatboy. Did you have any issues dealing with them. Good service?

I ordered the controls from JP Cycle but if I had to do it over I would have ordered every thing from them. The service was great and they came with wire in the bars to pull the new wires threw.

You will have to solder the wires but they are color coded.
