Does anyone make apes to fit an 08 Road King yet? If so who? Done it? Got pix?

 

its a 07 im sure with some duct tape they fit a 08

 

they are 16s burly gorilla bars same size and quality aswild 1s but 95 dollers cheaper

from what ive read, the 08's 'throttle by wire' system cant be adapted to ape-sized bars.... yet.

i've heard there are issues with wire resistance and the throttle acting wierd. not so sure about another 6" of wire causing problems but i'm not an engineer.

 

This has been talked about. Do a search. I can't remember when. It's been in the last 2 months. There were a few who figured the 08 drive by wire thing out. They said there was plenty of extra wire inside to use.

 

My 14 inch Flanders buckhorns are on my FLHR in my pic below... One nearby dealer would do it, another wouldn't. I've ridden about 1000 miles with it so far, and no troubles. Throttle is a bit lagging, but it's the same whether the cable is long or short. I've heard there will be a fix coming soon.
