Default Mini apes for 08 RKC?!?
Hey all, looking to put some mini apes on my 08 road king classic. I've seen different threads that say to use the "heritage style" bars but I'm wanting something with a little less pull back. I also want to use the stock wires and cables. How high can I go? 10" 12"?? Any input will help! I'd like to see pics of a few with stock wires and cables.
Thanks

I have the Yaffe 10" Monkey Bars. I didn't change anything, however, i will probably get a 6 " over t hrottle cable set, i think mine is too short.

those look great! Exactly what im looking for. What year is your RK? I have throttle by wire so I would assume it wouldn't be an issue?

Thanks!
It's a 2001.
Not sure if they work for TBW. Just check with your vendor, they will know.
