At first I was not wild about apes on a fairing bike. But it's kinda growing on me. If I go that route I'm liking the Yaffe monkey bars in black.

I love my 16" Burly's on my RG, the cable lengths varied, I think I went +3 on the clutch and throttle and had a custom cable made for the brake because I went to single sided caliper.

ok, I know this is an old post, I should and maybe will do a new one depending upon the responses.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\; Ok, so I have the 16" Apes with a 4" pull back, stock risers,&nbsp\\; I got +6 on all parts.&nbsp\\; As follows:
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\; Idle +6
&nbsp\\; Throttle +6
&nbsp\\; Brake +6 (HD makes a kit for RK 07)
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\; Anybody know if the +6 will work for my 07 RK?&nbsp\\; Any help would be great!!!!!!
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Keep the rubber side down!
&nbsp\\;

You can't beat the style and handling of&nbsp\\;16" apes if you really know how to ride.

HARLEYLEW, I have 18" apes, and used +10. +6 for 16" might be a little tight, but it may work... not sure.
