had 16" installed on mine. I went with paying the HD dealer to due it due to the internal wiring. Yea, I'm lazy but they install bars all the time on bikes so I knew they were way more qualified than I was. Didn't want my "baby" to be a test dummy with me doing the procedure.
Just use a piece of string or fishing line with a nut tied to the end. that is the easy part. The hard part is getting everything through the angle in the bars.
Dont let nobody b/s ya. they are a pita to install! If your UP for the challange, sounds like your ready? I used vasoline and kept the original heat wrap on. Tape your weed eater string on, and lube it up w/lots of petroleum. 10" bars measure out at 12-1/2", are very comfy and my hands aint above my shoulders.Make sure Yaffe sends you the instructions, they are a MUST for install
there is an Article in Hot Bike with Paul Jr on the cover with his Anti Venom Bike. page 70 called Throw Your Hands Up! installing 20" Apes, you might want to check it

Reason: correction
I have mine already tucked away for the winter with my 16 on her but here is a stock HD photo with the 16" Apes. I gotta say, I LOVE my 16" apes. I was a little nervous going with 16" but man, they are perfect for me.

Mind if I ask what the labor charge ended up being on this?
Just pulled my invoice. Labor for for 6 hours equaling $450. To me it was worth every penny as I know they did it right and I was able to have my bike up and running with no question unlike if I would have done it. :-)
