Default Cyclesmith 13" bars
I think I've settled on this bar, Cyclesmith 13" apes, for my street glide. Has anyone installed these bars or have any input on them? Appreciate it.

Louie

My 08 Street Glide has Cyclesmiths 13" apes and I love them. You will have to add mirrors to the handlebars because your hands will block out the mirrors in the fairing. I actually ordered a new inner fairing painted to match the color of my bike. It is not necessary to do that. When you removed the mirrors from the fairing there is a piece of chrome that is made to fill the hole were the mirrors were removed.

Got a buddy with the 13" Cyclesmiths on his street glide and I liked the feel better than the 12" Monkey bars I had on mine.

I had 13" CS on my 05 EGC and loved them. You'll need +6 on cables and brake lines, but no wire extenions. I currently 16" HCC bars on my 10 and love them more.

Had these on my 08 SG. Really like the hand position. Was able to look under my arms at the mirrors too.

Thanks again everyone for your input and the great pics, they really are a help in my making a decision. Just hope at 37" they aren't going to be too wide.
