Here's an installation video I referenced on my install... http://www.kenandjudy.us/Harley%20Pi...Bars/index.htm Its easier to loosen the radio and slide it back to get access to the top clamps in my opinion.

12"er's were the highest I've ridden and they felt pretty good. Some bikes just look better with apes but for the guys that say they handle better [sm=bs.gif] Have you ever seen a racer with apes? [sm=noooo.gif]

That's the problem with this site....you ALWAYS have to spell things out because there's going to be some *** hole who wants to dispute what you say when really its just different people's OPINION'S of certain situations..............just sayin

Welcome to Ape town! I disagree on the loss of low speed control AND the looking stupid comment! Loss of low speed sontrol is about the RIDER not the bars. I have more control now than I did with the stock "beach bars" on my FLHRS. Im swapping out my apes next week to LA choppers MFers. Ill post pics when Im done as well!

ApeKing you are dead on with your reply!!!
Yeah it felt a lil weird busting a slow U wee at first but once you know your Skill vs azzz pucker level with your own bike,its a cinch!!!People ask me all the time how i manage a slow crawl, tank slap turn at the gas station with my apes.I'm comfortable with my bike and my riding skillz,that i can handle it.I dont eff around with my wife on the back,but solo no problem for me.I'm only 5'8 and weigh a buc and some change!!!
Ape,wanna see them ***** when ya get em mounted bro!!!!
