My dealer is in process of installing Wild 1 12.5" apes and new Hog Pro wheels(Titans) to my SG. My service guy thought I would want the braided wires/cables and chrome fork tubes. He thought if I didnt have those, it would take away from the new wheels. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

 

I guess, if you have the extra funds available, I would go ahead and do them. I'm sure it will look really good.

 

NO. Your dealer is trying to make a buck off you. You will need longer cables, might as well get the braided ones if you like them. But the fork cover is not needed at all. He is right, it would look better, but looks are the only reason for it. You do not NEED the fork tubes.

 

It all depends on your funds and the look you are going after. I installed just the braided cables and I am glad I did.

 

The dude IS trying to sell you something, but like others have said, if you have the funds and the inclination, go for it.

 

You dont need them, but its better to get them done now then later. I did my bars myself and definitely replaced the lines and cables with braided. I also did my forks with a chrome exchange with saved over half what HD charges. I also did a flush mount axle with chrome cap which is nice little ungraded while the wheel is off

 

You don't need the apes or wheels either....Just go all in .... and be done for a week or two

 

technically you don't neeed any of the parts you're adding. The braided brake lines do help with brake feeel as they don't flex like the stock rubber lines. But all other items are cosmetic, not needed.

 

Thats funny stuff Pelonz! I was thinking I ws done a couple months ago after new seat...backrest...and luggage rack....but here we go again! I don't have unlimited amounts of cash, but can afford the chrome tubes and braided cables....I figure whats a little bit more after spending what I did for the new wheels. I will admit though...this is gonna have to be it for a while. I have put enough $$$ into this bike.

 

For me chrome lowers are a must have. As far as the bars and cables you would be a lot further ahead going aftermarket. I like Magnum Shielding cables. You can get them to make any length you want. As far as the bars you can get them elsewhere for cheaper than the dealer. If you do not want to do the job yourself find a good Indy, preferably one recommended by people in the know.
