Burleigh 14 inch highball.

Burleigh 14 inch highball.

Looks like a good height on the apes.

hdbikeparts.com have everything needed once he gets the correct top of ABS to master cylinder banjo fitting manufactured by Goodridge. Jonny has all the wire extentions and brake and hydro clutch lines. He also carries Wild1's bars of all types cheaper than Wild1's. Tell him I sent ya there.
 

I put on 14" Wild1's. Love the look but haven't rode due to all the spray down de-icing crap on the roads here.

Ok so I took the above bike off the lift and found that the banjo fitting that I used at the top of ABS unit to the master cylinder is now going to be hitting the neck area when at full right turn. It is 45 type fitting getting it away from the ABS unit but needs to have the bend in it to prevent issue. My wires are also going to be pinched at that point. where can I get the aftermarket part that matches the fitting on the stock line.

Love the look of those bars! 
I have an hour commute each way to work.  The stock CVO bars have me riding in a clamshell position and it's getting old, and giving me a sore back.  I want to ride more upright so I believe some 12" apes would provide a better riding position for me. 
I contacted HDBIKEPARTS.COM about ordering the parts needed to put apes on my BO and was told
"Can't do the CVO Breakout lines.  The ABS unit is behind the nacelle and the banjo fitting that goes from it to the master cylinder has a long tube on it that no one replicates."
 
So what is the work-around for the ABS lines? Or do we wait for someone to manufacture the fix? 

[zigscvobo]

Jonny ended up sending me a 35 degree that will work you just have to have it turned to the right side of the ABS Unit. I went 14" so he would need to take a few inches of top line.

I wonder if I am emailing with some else there at hdbikeparts since the emails are signed but I was told on Friday that they didn't have an option for the Breakout.  Maybe I should pick up the phone.

Jonny will return your call after leaving a message. Don't mention it being for a CVO till he calls you back. He did get frustrated not being able to get the stock fitting made for him. He is a great guy to work with. If I remember right, it is just him that is working there. Just mention that you talked to me, Ziggy and that the 35 degree will work for the banjo @ top of ABS to master cylinder.

Need to correct myself on this. The top 35 banjo fitting will need to be turned to the left of the ABS unit and have the bend facing the front of the neck, opposite what the bottom ABS banjo will be. Clear as mud?

Just ordered my Carlini 12" evil apes & wiring/TBW.  I plan to wait to mock up & measure for my brake & clutch.  I'll post pictures of the progress, any advise is well received!

For my Brothers.

[Mdeer]

Bars & wiring arrived today, waiting on cables.

[zigscvobo]

Hope you dont run into the same problem I had putting on a set of Carlini 14" Menace Apes. Popped alot of fuses wiring his bike up. Good luck. Appeared to not be very clean inside.

[Mdeer]

Zig, do you mean rough surface on the inside of the Carlini bars?  What length did you order for your clutch & brake?  Measured mine & just ordered them, hopefully correct on my measurements.

Thanks Kevin
