Punch the guy and get a new dealer - I put Longhorns on mine since I wanted my elbows at a natural hieght - my dealer ordered me the parts from Russel - I let them figure out the numbers since they got confusin (russel prt #s)- little hint, go with 2 - 45 deg fittins, not one 45 and one 90 - the 90 make the line go at an unnatural angle - pics of the longhorns in my photo album

RE: apes for 06
I ran into that when I had my 05 sporty. Check out JP Cycles website you can check their sportsters forum and they can help you with finding the right cable length. They can have specific lengths made for what you need and from what I understand it's not that much more expensive. I also have a set of 13.5 inch narrow glide apes that look good on the sportys for sale if you're interested im me.
