Shocks, Apes, and tank lift...
So once agian I have searched the forum and see things I want to do but can't seem to find the answers to my questions... So I will turn to your expert advice! this worked out for me the last time so here goes...
I have a 2010 Wide Glide with lapera bare bones, V&H 2into2 BR, RSD intake, PCV tuned...
I want to lower the back end to make the fender hug the tire without doing major cuts to fenders... which are the best shocks for the money. the burly slammers dont seem to come for 2010...I have seen the progressives a lot but dont want to spend $1k.. what can I do?
Apes I really think i am set on the 16-17" RSD apes but wheres the best place to get wires and cables? and can I get a 2-3" tank lift with apes?
I have done everything myself so far except the tune and probably wont try to tackle the bars on my own without some tips to success...
Trying to make the bike meet my asthetics and i mostly do short rides i have an iron a$$.

2nd...I'd inquire with the place you're buying the bars from for cables. What wires are you referring to?
3rd... I don't think a package deal of apes, tank lift is available. Tank lift is available on ebay. it's made by a forum member. Search "MotorcityCreations" on ebay.

I have the Burly Brand Slammers Drop Shocks. This past weekend I road with a group of friends to Robbinsville, NC from Southern Maryland. Trip was just over 560miles each way. We road down Saturday (road the Dragon's Tail on Sunday) and road back home on Monday. We registured around 1300 for the three day trip.
With the shocks I had no issues and was never sore from riding. After the 11hrs of hard riding each way I was still ready for more, I jokingly ask (knowing that we didn't have the documentation) the group who was ready to finish an Iron Butt ride. Also, the shocks handled perfectly in the corners of the Dragon where I was averaging around 40-45mph. Not a pocket rocket speed, but fast for a first time Tail run.

I don't have a lot of advice on the shocks or tank lift, but a really good place to get your apes is from hill country custom cycles. Their website is www.hillcountrycustomcyles.com. Simply give them a call and tell them the model and year of your bike and what size bars you want and they will send you the apes already internally wired, the right size clutch and brake cables. Easy and painless. Their prices are really good too!
