Default My new apes
I ended up going with the HD mini apes on my Ultra. Really couldnt pass up the deal at $125 from the local stealer. Used the new style TGS with the extended harness already incorporated in it. This style eliminates that little PIA green plug that seems to come loose. Clutch cable is +6 from Magnum. Did not need to change brake lines. Hope this helps anyone looking to upgrade the feel of the bars.

They look good. What is the height on them? I have been searching for bars for my ultra as well. This might be the ticket.

Thanks
Joe

Hey Oh Snap your ride looks Badass the way you have it setup. Wish I could pull the trigger and put 18's on mine. Did you lower it also?

apes is the way to go. There are riders who never tried apes.... I wouldn't have a bike without them. Very comfortable. JMHO though
