Default ape hanger instal

Got a problem.&nbsp\\; Local dealer says can't put ape hangers on an 08' Road King

I have an 08' Road King Anniv. with the electronic throttle and cruise.&nbsp\\; I need a set of 16" ape hangers with the throttle side notched to accept the throttle sleeve.&nbsp\\; Anybody know who makes em and where to buy them.

Matt

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try carlini, they might be able to notch them for you.&nbsp\\; i would be worried about the electric throttle though, if you extend those wires, you will potentially add resistance, thus messign with the drive by wire setup

Check out the wild1 their good bars.&nbsp\\;I'm sure any&nbsp\\;quality bar keeps up with the industry and&nbsp\\;if they don't have them now they will soon. Call wild 1 tech support.
&nbsp\\;
Best of luck!&nbsp\\;

Any wrench that can change his own bars can adapt early bars to
fbw......simply file a couple of notches in the end...use OEM bars for quide.
