Mini apes on Deuce
Can't take the oem drag bars anymore, neck and shoulders are hurting after an hour. Sat on a fxstc and liked the way they felt, was told they are basically 12" mini apes and could swap 'em on there. Does that sound right ?

That sounds right. They might be 10 or 8 tall, not really sure, but a taller bar with more options for angles allow you to sit much more comfortable in my opinion.

I would be concerned with cable length an dire length too but 12" is a fairly short distance from your setup with new, shorter risers.

I run chubby 14's with 1 1/2 riser on my deuce and is at shoulder level which is great. I'm 6'3 though.

Put 12-inch minis on my Heritage. That's as tall as I could go without switching out cables. Love it, much more comfortable and handles great.

Deuce Apes
Im looking to put some 14s on my 04 Deuce but would like to keep the mini tach. Does anyone know if this can be done?
