I like the looks of the 10inch. Cropsure, you said you didn't have to change wires? Is that stock seat and windshield? Also, how tall are you? I'm 6 ft and wanna make sure that I'm comfortable

We have an 08 FLRT in our dealership in Rochester right now. Not quite sure what size they are but its comfortable. We did another Road Glide for a member of a local club i want to say they were 16'' they were comfortable and looked good. He did them in black on the Orange bike

Cropsure, you didn't have to change your wires? That makes it quite easy. Do you have a stock seat and windshield? Thanks everyone for the help so far!

Did not have to change any wires. I am 5'10" and I really do like the feel of them. I started out with the Herritage bars and thought they were ok till I tried a buddy's with the mini apes. In that picture it is the stock seat and windshield, but I have since changed it to a Cee Baileys shield and like it much better. The wind protection is about the same, but it looks much better IMO.

I put on Yaffee 12" Monkee bars. Very happy with them.

I've been calling around for 10inch mini apes. I hate dealerships, a few are telling me that I might be able to stretch wires and some are telling me that I need new wires and it involves 10 hours labor! They're trying to wack me $1300 bucks! I think I'm going to trust CROPSURE and order the Chubby 515's and see if the lines will fit.

I have the the 10" Wild1 Chubbies and was able to use the wiring, but replaced the cables with braided ones. Here's a picture.
