Default New 14 inch apes

Got my new HCC 14 inch apes installed yesterday on my 07 FLHT and its like riding a new bike. I bought the basic kit and had Kurt at Cowboy's Cycles in Garland, TX put them on for me because I'm an idiot on electricals. Also had him install fairing mirrors so I could remove the Mickey Mouse ear stock mirrors. Very pleased with the quality of the parts and the install.

Looks good. Glad you like them. I'm trying to decide between 12s or 14s myself.

Looks great! Debating on getting them for my '13 SG. Did it effect the handling a lot? Good or bad?

Looks great! I can't believe how many new ape threads there are lately. If this keeps up, we may see the moco finally figure out they should come from the factory with taller bars.

It had been several years since I spent any money on my bike so I figured I was due.. Anyways, the bars are real comfortable for me (Im 6'2) and now i'm sitting straight up and my back feels way better. Guess I didn't realize I was slouched over with the stock bars. I went on a long ride yesterday and went out again for a while today as well. Its also much easier to maneuver, especially at slow speeds like in parking lots because you have some leverage. Still getting used to the fairing mount mirrors but Im digging the bars.
