I ordered 10" mini apes from my local HD shop for my 2011 Nightster- the parts guys looked up what other parts would be needed so ...I ordered a wire harness kit and harness turn signal(?) that item is tad hard to read on the receipt. I brought my bike ,in this evening to be worked on tomorrow, drop it off at service ...I wonder around the store I go back to service and ask one of the mechanics will it be ready tomorrow he says it all depends if other parts are need...he sees what parts I have and says I could need others... blah blah .....MY QUESTION IS WHAT PARTS DO I REALLY NEED?? ANY INFO IS APPRECIATED!


I wish I could do it my self but not really mechanical & I am kinda not sure about having some guy friends work on it.

 

Are they going to need longer cables.

 

For 10inch apes you shouldn't need to extend anything except maybe the brakeline. I hate to ask this but why didn't you do it yourself?

 

10" shouldn't require too many extras. They'll throw everything in to get your money, but as mentioned above the brake line is the only one that comes to mind, and I'm pretty sure you don't even need it.

 

thanks for all the info...

 

**oh I wish I could but just not
that mechanical yet... working on it.

 

*** he seemed to think he needed to check it out first...which I thought odd since he is a HD mechanic & I leads me to believe the might take advantage of me since I am a chick rider...

 

Can you post pics of your ride after mini apes are put? I am debating putting mini apes on my 48 and don't know what it'll look like.

 

You are gonna need the front brake line unless they bend the hardline and relocate it (the dealer isnt going to try and save you money) Everything else should be fine and maybe re routed if there is a problem (clutch cable).


You gave them the bike already???

 

For 10" you're good to go without any extras.
Just changed mine for 12" and replaced just break lines and clutch / throttle.
