Default 12" mini apes from Harley

I bought some the other day. When I got them in and measured them they measure 10". With the riser it comes with, it is considered 12".

Havent heard anyone on here use Harley's. A lot of Wild Ones. Any feedback or experience with HD?

I have the 12" Fat Mini's on both of my bikes. Excellent quality & there isn't a step down for the risers so they are 1.25" all the way through except for the grips. Add the poly bushings & you will have a solid setup. Internal wiring looks great & the price is good with the risers included if you go to one of the 20% off HD vendors. I got the second set used but like new for $125. No complaints here unless you want to go higher.

Thanks, I got them for 25% off. I was just curious as to why I havent seen many on here post about the HD brand. Looking forward to getting them installed. I dont think I can pull it off myself.

I did both with a friend. We cut and soldered the wiring & installed new cables. Unless you are familiar with the process or have some good help don't try it as it can be tricky especially with internal wiring. Good Luck!
