Ya, but mounting 16s is an issue. Lol

I have a 2014 SG that I just put 14" Wild 1 bars on. No ABS. I bought my hydrolic clutch line, front brake line and lengthened the wires. The clutch and brake lines I got were the black braided (after market from Harley). It looks and feels great. I am 5'9" and it fits me great. Make sure your bars are 15" wide (on the inside to clear the dash).

Yes, but don't forget some apes are wider than others. By inches sometimes... Wider apes take longer cables.

I put 12.5" Wild 1's on my '14 Ultra. I went with +6 upper brake line and hydraulic clutch cable with 45 degree bango fittings. Did the same for my '12 SG. I had to buy the extentions for the switches on the '14 but you could probably get by with re-routing the wiring in the inner fairing. I just wanted to keep it nice and clean.

Get in touch with Johnny Vaughn at www.HDbikeparts.com. He's the cable guru. Hooked me up and solved the dilemma with my 16"s & CVO hydraulic clutch.

Just put a set of 12" Monkey Bars on my 14 SG. Was told by two sources that the stock length wires, brake and clutch lines would work with no problem. Well, had to add 6"s to the wires but the brake and clutch lines worked just fine.

I put those on my bike and didn't need to extend anything but the wires. They wouldn't be re-routed unless you ran them outside the bar rather than internally.
