Looks good.
The previous owner had replaced the stock baby apes with drag bars on 6in risers.



The dimensions on these bars [the ones I replaced the drags with] are as close to stock specs as I was going to get and not pay the HD products price tag. They will look pretty similar if you have a set of stock bars. Bear in mind that it may have a slightly different look as the rake on the Wide Glide is different than that of the Super Glide.

Got it! Thanks. I told a buddy that I wished I could "unbend" the buckhorns. He said he would hook me up. Sure enough they do almost that. Seems like the cables and wires will go over fine. Thinking I'll drill them out and bury the wires.

Looking good.

Classic Wide Glide look with the mini apes. I've always been a fan of that color combo, too.

Marksman,

Pretty sure your bike comes with a narrow glide front end (as opposed to the wide glide). The mini apes width at the bottom may be wider than your front end. Don't know if you care, but I think it looks better when the witdth matches the front end. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you didn't consider this.

I think Burly makes an ape with a narrow glide width.

Baeseman1------>Got the clutch and throttle cables on. The Clutch cable was perfect as far as length. The throttle cables were only about a half inch longer than what I had on but since I already had them off I used yours anyway. Also thru on some iso grips since I had the housings appart at the clutch and break levers I figured I would put them on. After having them on my last bike I almost NEED them. I could put some pix up but I am not sure what anyone would be able to tell in cables unless they were braided lines or something. Thanks again.
