It's been a couple of months now since the wifes accident, money was tight and things were looking pretty bad. But I had to do what I had to do and I sold some of my toys. I was able to pay off two credit card bills, put money back in the bank, and kept some cash on the side for the fatboy.

I was in the process of putting apes on the lo when all the $hit went down.
This is where im at. Tell me if I'm missing anything

Things I have:
-Bars (carlini 12" flyin apes)
-2010 Soft tail service manual

Stuff I still need:
-wire extensions
-extended cables (thinking +6)
-Bushings for risers
-grips
-Exhaust gasket
-gasket for the cover of the clutch cable
-brake fluid
-Wire loom
-Heat shrink

Is there anything else Im missing.

Thanks for all your help......

 

Looks about right, save up some swear words too! And make sure to document it with a camera fun to watch the changes!

 

Soldering iron and solder to snug those wiring extension cables together and you are good. And a day to put it all together.

It's going to be nice to work on the bike and not fight for room since the rat rod is gone. I plan on taking my time since this is my first ape install.

Soldering iron and solder are ready to go....

 

Heavy padding to cover the work area of the bike incase a tool slips.
I ordered and received Avon air grips but not sure if I prefer the look over my current ISO grips though.

Good luck on the change out. Bill emailed me that mine will ship out on Wed. I still need to get a clutch release cover gasket and Derby gasket to adjust the clutch after the new cable.

 

Hey Nubs, I just went through this. Sounds like you've got things pretty well covered.

I couple things I thought of,

New Banjo Bolt gaskets if they don't come with the new brake lines.

Plenty of Zip Ties.

An offset 11/16" box wrench makes tightening the clutch nut a lot easier after adjustment.

If you're gonna remove the gas tank, run it as dry as you can first. Some guys say you can just slide it back, but I found it was a lot easier to just remove it to get at the wires and Throttle/Idle cable routing.

Also, if you've never removed the tank before, you'll need to cut the clamps holding the crossover line so you'll need a couple new hose clamps.

You don't NEED this, but for bleeding the brakes, a Mity Vac makes the job a lot easier.

Some good quality electrical tape.

A BIG pair of Snap Ring pliers for inside the Trans when you change the Clutch Cable.

That's about all I can think of, good luck and just take your time.

 

Something else you might need. I removed the air cleaner to make it easier to work on the Throttle/Idle cables.

Might not be a bad idea to pick up a new intake gasket.

 

Looks like your about covered and I have nothing useful to add. But, lets see pictures of your rat?

 

I just hope things go smoothly...

 

Im getting ready to change mine out as well, good luck to us both and post your results.
