I'm considering the 513 Baby Ape for my 02 Road King. I need a bar that's a little higher and back than the stock bar, but I don't think I like the wrist angle of the 508 or the HD Reduced Reach. Not really looking for a major change, just comfort. Would really like to stay with the stock cables too.

I've never ridden on a bike with 513's but have spent some time of a Police RK with the Heritage style bar which looks to be similar. Just wondered what 513 owners thought of their bars vs stock?

 

My bike is a 09' FLHRC. I have about 1500 miles on my 513s and I can say that I like them very much. I initially installed the Heritage Style bars but I did not like the wrist angle at all. The 513s are nothing like the Heritage Style bars. The 513s put your wrists at a very comfortable angle and the bars are low enough to make low speed turning easy. I am 5' 11'' and have the bars just a little pulled back from the fork angle. My dealer installed the bars and internally placed the throttle wire. They did require a + 8'' throttle extension (part # 2120-0251) which cost $38.99. The dealer charged me $ 427 for the install, which is not cheap but is a lot cheaper than some have paid for similar services on this forum.

 

Thanks for the info and the pictures. Did you have to use a longer clutch cable and brake line?

 

Nope, clutch cable and brake lines are the same.
