Added apes to my Slim last winter. I was a little apprehensive about the mod since I had not even sat on a bike with apes. Apes are the way to go. Much better riding experience; plus the bike looks way cooler. It is a pretty simple mod, definitely worth doing yourself.
After putting it off for a long time, I finally got around to putting apes on my Softail Slim. I must say, they completely change the bike. No more slouching over and having a sore back and shoulders.
I used 12" Khrome Werks handlebars (P/N 300821). The fit and finish of the bar is great. They are both dimpled and drilled for internal wiring.
As for the cables, I spent a little more and went with Magnum Shielding cables. I got all of the cables in their Black Pearl finish.
I kept the stock risers for now which are a 2" rise.
Let me know what you think!
Hey guys. I know this is an older thread but I'm hoping I could resurrect it for a question. I ordered th 14" version of the same bars and was wondering if this same cable setup would work for those. Looks like the clutch and throttle/idle have some slack there. The brake line looks like it would need a bit more. Thanks for the help.
