Finished installing 12" apes on my 11 Wide Glide

Jaron. I have tried every way possible for routing. The best was was the way it was done from factory. I mentioned the cables would be nicer if they were 2-3" longer. I drove the bike today and the clutch feels good. Not tight or binding. So i will leave it for now. I believe the stock clutch cable off a 2011 steet bob was 69". My 2011 WG cable was 62" long.

I'm not sure of the width or the height. If I remember right the height from the top of the trees to the top of the bars was just a hair over 15". I had duty yesterday, so I don't get home till this afternoon. I'll get the accurate measurements to you later. The way I routed it is the way I described above. I removed the clutch cable from the lever. Cut the zip tie under the motor that routes it across and I just routed it up the right down tube, keeping it on the right side of the neck and hooked her up and re-zip tied. That's all she wrote. I'll get better pics to you as well when I get home.

Dang make me do all that work for you while I'm sleep deprived and you're just messin. Well since I did it anyways your getting it. Apes 35 grip end to end. Height from tree to top of bars is 18 inches. I didn't go through the trees, it should give you another inch or two from the other 2 inches from what you thought I did. Attention to detail....lol! I quit!

If you still haven't got your clutch side grip off the old bars, Just pry it open a little and spray some carb cleaner in there with that little staw. Wait a minute and give a good twist. It should come right off. I just did this 2 days ago on my stock mini apes.
Bars look sick. Good job!
