Best 14" Mini Ape Bar Options for 2003 Road King with or without a Fairing? What else do I need? Looking at Wild 1s...
Hey all,
I had an old RK before with what I believed to be 12.5" bars that I really liked. The only thing I might have wanted different was have then just a bit higher. Someone once told me they thought the bars that came on my old bike were Wild 1 Chubby bars, and as I'm looking for new bars to replace the seemingly stock bars on my latest bike, they seem to be a contender. Are they great bars? Anything else I should look at? These aren't inexpensive... What else would I need to buy to make something like this work?
Thanks for any help or ideas.
These are the ones I was looking at Wild 1 Chubby 14"
Then they say I need this clamp, would that go under the stock chrome cover that covers my existing bar clamps? Clamp for older baggers
Here's a pic of one of their customer's bikes that happens to be a black 03 RKC Black 03 RKC with 14" Wild 1 Chubby Bars
Here's a pic of my old 03 two tone with what I believe to be 12-12.5" bars, and possibly Wild 1s, but I'm not sure -VS- my newly acquired black 03 RK shown with fairing, which is a work in progress, since I just got it...

Thanks guys, I have someone that's going to help me put them on, but I need to order everything. Outside of the bars, and possibly that clamp they recommend if I get the Wild 1s, what's the best way to go about figuring out what else I need and where's the best place to get the other stuff? Like I'm pretty sure I'm going to need cables, but I'm not sure how long they need to be. Wondering if the wiring for the switches etc would need to be extended. Any thoughts?

OP, WO do make fine bars but offer quite a variety. Have you not looked on their website?

As I'm looking at the cost of the bars, the extra cables and everything, plus some help putting everything on, it's really starting to add up, but I want to be happy with it at the end of the day, so I guess it is what it is...
