Here is the finished wiring



First test ride, I left the cover off in case I had to move the bars..

If I can do it, you can too!

 

Hey Rags, thanks for the write-up. Why do you wish you had gone higher? Are these bars not comfortable?

 

Your welcome Skully.
They are very comfortable. I have never had apes and really like these, but
think higher would be even better as far as comfort goes...Don't have a real good explanation as to why, it's just a personal thing I guess...
I cheaped out by getting these so I wouldn't have to buy cables, otherwise
I would have gone 14-16's. I might just do that, but would hate to do all that wiring over...
They beat the stock wheelbarrel bars by 100%! I hated those things..LOL

 

I notice in all the apehanger pictures I see, everyone has the turn signals relocated. If I would put on 513's or 515's, is it possible to leave the turn signals on the bars? Does everyone just choose to not put them on the bars for a cleaner look?

 

No reason you can't leave them on the bars at all. I just think
it looks cleaner with them gone. It cleans up the bars real nice, no wiring exposed, etc.

 

Careful. Baby apes tend to grow. In a few years they could be 14s or 16s. Sometimes they get chubby too.

And the reason people move their turn signals is so the man can't see how high your bars are at night. That's also why blacked out bars are better. They see the bike profile with the signals on the triple tree, and then whoosh, you're gone.

 

So true so true so true......went from stock, to Heritage Bars, now have 10" mini apes, but they are getting relieved of their duties with 16" apes sitting quietly on the shelf in my garage.

 

Has anyone had either the 513s or 515s and found them to be too wide?
