Default Handlebars

Hi everyone. I am looking to switch handlebars on my 07 Street Glide and I want black bars from 12-13" mini Apes. I was hoping to get feedback of different bars and maybe pics of how they look. Also curios if anyone knows what length cable I will need for the new height. Any help is appreciated. Ride safe

I went with magnum cables, 12 " Yaffee bars, wiring kit from Namez... ordered everything from directharleyparts.com. Everything came to the house in 3 days. Called directharley and they sent all the needed cables, wiring in the same box the bars came in.

I do need to get rid of the stock mirrors.. mine work but I have to move my elbows out of the way..and I need to update my avatar pic lol

josh, I was going through the same thing so here's my take...

best thing you can do is a search on this forum for different types of apes, and you will see tons of pics and reviews of many different brands and sizes, and what cables you may or may not need. using google will also help to get some different angles of bars you may think you will like.

Take a look at the sticky threads at the beginning of the Touring section there's a long thread on apes...plenty of em in the archives (I know this because I read up on all of them before I put mine on).
