Thanks for all the replies and sorry for bringing it up again. So I pulled the j&p book and the cheapest I could get All the parts for was 300 to 350 I think it's worth it to get hill country to do it I'll tell them I want the drag spec cables thank you. I'll post the install with pics if you think it would serve the greater good I can't wait to losethe buck horns

 

Good decision. Please update us when you start the install.

 

Looks like my comments might be a little late...

I purchased a kit from HCC a couple years ago and have no complaints. they had the kits with the controls and everything already mounted, but it wasn't for me since I was blacking out my bars. So I just purchased the bars (black powdercoated) and cables (not pre-run) and had my local wrench do the install.

A note about their customer service - they sent me the wrong bars initially. I called them up and they answered right away, put mine in a box with the cables and reshipped that day. They included a return shipping label for the others. I was happy since I wouldn't have to wait on shipping the "bad" ones back and then wait on the return. I appreciated their trust.

A note on quality - I had them installed for about 2 years and never had any problems with the cables or the coating. I don't know what cables I had, but they weren't drag specialties, I would have recognized the name.

I would buy from them again and am comfortable saying you will be happy with the purchase.

As far as piecing together a kit goes - you will pay about the same for the pre-setup from HCC as you would for buying everything seperate and then paying the Stealership to install. I think they usually quote around 6-8 hours for handlebar swaps with internal wiring. As others mentioned, the way to save the money is to do the work yourself.

 

dude i did all my work but i bought everthing from hill country and the guy there is awesome , you could call him if you had problems and he'd walk you through it on the phone . as far as the whole kit ,its easy and not that much more especially if you get the controls chromed out in the kit!

 

I have the setup from HCCC. 16" apes...clutch throttle/idle/brake lines included. $299. I lengthened the wiring harness and ran them internally.

The bars are nice. Almost a year old and no signs of any rust.

For $300...I don't think you can go wrong.

They also have pretty good customer service. When I ordered my setup, the guy had to call me back so he could check physical inventory. Damn if he didn't actually call back. I told him I was very surprised he called back and said it's nice to deal with a company who understand customer service.

 

funny were talking about this i just ordered new apes from them today!

 

I live close to where they are. Ordered mine picked them up next day. Took 4-5 hours for the install with other items. I have had them 3 years now. No problems. HCCC (hill country custom cycles) has my vote for their Ape Kits. Will do business with them again.

 

Im happy with their product, they did send the wrong style of brake line junction, but I think you could do all the internal wiring yourself, I think I could have. But it was a time saver and im happy with the results. I bought their pre-wired 16's, their chrome switches, my switch housings and grips.
