Love the way the guy gives you a little tips on how not to fuck up, sounds like words of experience there. I've been working on cars and bikes all my life, doesn't matter how long you do it, you always make little mistakes here and there that you have to straighten out as you go. This guy is very knowledgeable. Great video.

Great tutorial. Those handlebars make the bike look so much better

Dude you RULE! Im lookin at a Slim next and this REALLY gives good advice on addin apes

Getting ready to change mine out tonight! Can’t wait to get it done!

That'll help me install the new 12" Apes on my Rebel 1100DCT. Thanks Patrick

I'm thinking of 10" ape hangers

Always appreciate the torque specs

I dig that this guy used a set of bars that are specifically made to come apart and make this install easier, but he didn't so it shows how much really goes into a bar install.

I like to use spraycan clearcoat so I can reuse my grips if I ever change bars again much easier to remove and reinstall. It gets hard and if you ever want to remove just slide a thin piece of sheet metal between the bar and the grip and it will break the bond allowing you to slide the grip right off

I probably missed it but did you lengthen the wires or get new ones?

I'm trying to find what actually came on the 2015 Fatboy. Whoever had it before I bought it, changed the original handle bars to a set of Drag style handle bars, and I hate them. I don't like how they feel or look, and the person took everything off the bike, and I'm also going to have to buy a 2" riser and whatever else I need to buy. Would like to know what type of original handle bars came on the 2015 and need know what else I need.

How easy would ot be to put those ape hangers bars on a VTX1800T

Wait, I must have missed it, did you have to extend your switch housing wires? I am putting 13" mini apes on my 07 FLHRS and am trying to figure out if I need to extend those or not. Thanks

Great job!

Do you need to lengthen the power wires at all pr do most bikes have enough extra

Awesome video thanks for the links as I am changing handlebars on my chopper. I will be ordering parts from you guys soon!

I have this bike how big can i go before changing cables bc i was wanting to go 10 inch how bog are these

Is loctite recommended on any of the bolts?

Are the wires stock length or aftermarket?

Like the video!!! Was just wondering if you ever do videos for metric bikes? Almost every video out is for Harleys. Would like to see something like that on an old metric just to see a comparison.

What length of brake line did you use? I didn’t hear a specific.

GREAT 👍

Im gonna do this really soon but what a pain in the ass

Did you have to do any work on the modular prior to assembly? I got a set for my victory and the handle bars aren’t going together.

Nice job.

What sizes are the actual risers? do the handlebar fit 2019 rk special?

I see that you didn’t have to bleed the brakes when you installed the brake cable, was that correct?

That cowbell sound near the end of the vid is TERRIBLE!

What year is the Softail in this video?

Did you use wire extensions?

What were those old no7 grips on the old bars?

are those stcok handlebars on the bike to start? and what height risers are those?

Height??

Well I have a 2013 FXDF fat bob with ABS brakes and twin disc and all the hose ends are Crimped so unless I pay big money to Harley no apes , With my Evo I can put apes on it with my eyes closed . The FXDF I bought it a week ago now I want to sell it , 30,000 kl on it .

Did you change any cables at all for the 10 inch or all of them are a stock cables

Wondering what are some Handlebar options other than mini apes for a 2016 Dyna LowRider.
