I just installed my 14" Wild 1 apes. Aside from taking 12 hours it wen't fairly smooth and I'm planning on doing a final write up after I figure out my last problem.

I put in Arlen Ness handlebar dampers/bushing, and I feel like they are to tall. The bars are sitting just barely high enough that I can't get the nacell (thing with the cruise/acc switches) so fit back under the inner fairing like it should. The bushings are torqued correctly but I feel like they are to tall. I also seem to get a little flex out of them when I pull back on the bars, which may be normal due to the leverage created by having 14's.

Does anyone have any experience with this that could help me out with some advice?

 

it's probably not the bushings but the size of the bars. work with the rubber bushings at the end of the switch panel to sqeeze them tight over the bars

 

I tried that a bit, but there is an awful lot of room below the bars to the bottom of the nacelle. I read on here somewhere that someone had a problem with the washers on the dampners being to thick, but I checked them with a mic and they were the same.

 

Same issue on my 2009 roadking . I used the wild ones riser bushings because they state that the fork lock cover will not fit if you don't use there bushings . I put 1 1/4 inch bars on . I built a spacer for the fork lock itself about i/8 inch thick . This allows everything to line up and fit perfectly on a roadking . Perhaps this will help you ------
