Heritage Style bars are a great improvement over stock bars. Have put them on 2 of my Kings. Had the Road King High Bars on my '06 Road King. They were better than stock too.

 

That's what I did on my 99. Short Apes. I forget which ones but they were fat, and with cables and all it was pricey, even doin it myself. 700 Bucks I think. Bars, Braided cables etc.

Wll stock length cables fit with short apes? I have CRS and it was a long time ago.

 

Getting ready to switch from Heritage style to Wild 1 513's, Chubby Baby Ape's...Just can't get the right height/angle combo with the Heritage bars.

The 513's have a similar grip angle to stock, but more height and pullback...And a little wider...And Fatter

 

You're gonna like them more than you know. I like mine.
Oh! nice ride.

 

Me too, except I'm doing the 515's (10" mini apes). Mine's a RK Custom and Wild1 told me because of the OEM beach bars I have, there's already enough cable and wire length in there that I don't need to extend them. I'll see within the next month. Doing it myself!

I was going to do stainless cables, too, if I had to get longer cables. And while I like the look, I'll save that expense for next winter! lol One thing at a time.

Back on topic, I sat on several bikes and liked the Heritage style bars. Also liked the actual Heritage bar on the Softail. The RK 2014 seems to come with Heritage bars now and I loved that. Except I wanted my hands just a shade wider. AND I wanted internal wires. After measuring everything I could, the 10" mini apes from Wild1 looked to be exactly what I wanted.

But wow.... Jager's bike is a beaut! Well done!

 

Heritage style bars did the trick for me too. No more pain across the back of my shoulders!

 

Thanks guys. They do feel much better. I still want 16 apes. But these will so for now


The fish tails are from a supplier on eBay. I think they are like $175 shipped. Sounds great if you like that fish tail tone. I do

 

I'm lookin at my Heritage bars + they're not notched out for TBW. Did you have to cut the Heritage bars to make them work?

 

Got mine when I did the 1K. I'm a happy camper now. I got the chubby version, as I wanted internal wiring.

 

You can cut it to make it work. A Dremel tool will be useful, but it is still kind of a pain. If I had it to do over again, I would have just used the Heritage Style Bars (56902-08) which already have the notch rather than trying to cut the Heritage bars (56569-09). I did try both. The Heritage Style bars are a better fit for the clutch cable (at least on my 2011).
