I would like to install some 13" apes on my 09 FLHR. The Cyclesmith person said I need +4 on all cables and wires for the 13" ape hangers. Searches for wiring reveals that alot of folks just splice in +4, solder and heat wrap the wires. However, through other searches on here it sounds like most were able to use the stock TBW. Can anyone confirm this? Would anyone like to elaborate on this type of install. Like most people I am trying to get all the parts together first. Thanks in advance!

 

i want the 14's myself but would really like any facts that will help.

This is a pretty good thread about 12.5" apes being put on an 09 FLHRC.

Wild-1 12.5 Apes on 2009 FLHRC

 

That dude went through Johnny Vaughn. That site does the pre-wiring for you and doesn't tell what extensions you need. I am looking to save a few bucks and do it all myself.

 

That is the same sight. Maybe I'll email this Johnny Vaughn and see if he will give any advice. I see they do sell parts and not just pre-wired. I have a friend who manages a Kawasaki dealership so I can get the parts out of the drag-specialties catalog for cost.

 

cant wait to get mine on

 

I did the work myself and you dont need wires. Just relo the 2 plugs inside the dash. You can use the stock 2 piece tbw but I went with the single one from HD. Ask away if you have any more questions. Actual I have a set of wires that I never used.

 

Plus 1 for masshd, you should have enough wire, theres plenty of slack. And for brake line go to your local indy shop, brake lines come in DIY kits, they are A-N fittings now, so you mix and match whatever you need.

 

slowglide your bike is bad a$$, what i want to do to mine 21 wheel and 14 apes looks clean.
