10" Apes for batwings ????????
I have a couple of questions:
I Know I can run stock cables with the 10's, by re routing the cables. Does anyone have a pic of how this looks after they are re routed?
What are my options. who all has 10" apes?
The only ones I have found are Paul Yaffe Originals in 2 designs. The Classic Bagger Apes:
and the Monkey Bagger Bars.
I am leaning towards the Classics, maybe in black due to the fact they are almost $300 cheaper.
Also, I want opinions the apperance if I would leave my fairing mounted mirrors on and add handlebar mounted one's for function since with 10" bars, the fairing mirrors cant been seen out of.
Thanks.

I wouldn't run 4 mirrors. Yaffe makes the bagger chips to cover the holes, or if you look around some people have done different things to cover the holes afterward. The mirrors on the bars will work out much better for you.

The Pics are just examples from the PYO web site, I know they are not the 10's. So wild ones have 10's? do you have a pic of your cable re routing?

I had "Todd's Cycle" 10" bars on my last EG. Liked em a lot...grips sat rite at the top of the fairing so hands still got wind protection and only had to rerout clutch cable out of fairing to front of fairing. Really didn't look bad at all. Good quality and looking 1.25" bars, IMO.

I been strongly considering the WO575's, cant wait to see the new WO bar. The 575's look great IMO, but glad I waited! Thanks for that info.

With my 10" Yaffe bars, you definitely will need bar-mounted mirrors.
Stock cables & wires will work, but you'll probably have to re-route the clutch cable just the right way or it'll be pulled super tight. I replaced mine just to be safe, but I've heard of a lot of bikes keeping stock clutch being just fine with the re-route trick.
