Anyone running 10" mini apes

Yeah tried the search and either 10" showed up or just apes

SO has anyone tried them? Did you have to add to any cables,wires or anything?

I want an easy install (as I plan to do it myself). I really don't want to mess with adding to the length of the wires or cables. I just want a little more reach from my stock bars. (Hint) they have been rolled back; but just not enough.

Thanks and
Merry Christmas to all!! And thank you for your help!!

I bought the WO515 for my Roadking...I have not installed them yet. I just got them two days ago...I know you are on an Ultra and it is a bit different than a Roadking...If you go to Wild 1 site (my last link) there are hundreds of pics of bars for your bike...

hope this helps..

You have to reroute the clutch cable (trial & error) to give you the additional 2"+ reach your need but the wires and brake line (may have to adjust the banjo fitting some) will work fine.

Will be working on my 10" LA Choppers Primeapes after the holidays so...more to follow. Like you, just need a tad more reach and didn't feel like working a cable splice into the mix.

Hopefully the 10"'s will work for you but if you can sit on a bike that has them installed for a test fit, that's the way to go. I thought the 10"'s would work for me but found that my arms were way to extended when making turns and if I pulled the bars back to eliminate that, they were way to low. I ended up with 12"'s and they fixed the issues. Something to think about before dropping the coin....

Last weekend did 10" wild1's for the same reason as you not really looking for much more height but more pullback and these fit the bill perfectly. For my 2014 SGS the install was a piece of cake no longer cables needed I just needed the NAMZ 8" wire extension but be aware that with 10" bars you can't use your fairing mirrors which I didn't like anyway.
