Default anyone w/apes on 08 RKC?

I was planning on adding apes later on as i did with my fatboy.My dealer said i should wait since these new throttles require some expertice.Said i really need to wait for apes that are made to accomodate the new throttle w/internal wring.Now i went to the wild1 website and saw the apes i want and its listed for the new thottle.What gives.Appreciate any opinions. thanks

In the sun is when it really stands out.The black depending on the sunlight looks green and it has like metal flake glistening on the stripe of the front fender,where it really shows.

I have seen 4 sets installed on '08 RK. all they did is extend the wires and pulled them through the bends. Keep in mind they are tight to pull due to the number of wires. But it can be done.

Good Luck

anyone with any info on this.I went on a short ride w/ the stock and my back/neck was hurting somewhat after 90 miles.I really intend to go to 12.5 wild1 chubbys but am getting some different opinions due to the new throttle.

Yeah I'm also&nbsp\\;looking into trying Wild 1's W0515's for my 08 RKC,&nbsp\\;HD techs have been&nbsp\\;advising me not to try to modify the&nbsp\\;TBW yet for what that's worth and apparently this bar&nbsp\\;works without modifying that, not sure about the other cables and lines though.

My dealer expects different wire lengths&nbsp\\;to come out this month when the new parts catalog is issued with the 2009 models.&nbsp\\; That's what I'm waiting on.&nbsp\\; Hasn't stopped me from buying my Wild 1 14"s, W0572.&nbsp\\; By the way, I purchased blemished handlebars from them at a major discount.
&nbsp\\;
If you want to save money, then call and ask for a set of blems.

yes I saw that&nbsp\\;you can save quite a bit that way, but just how visable are the blemishes
