Post by: BluesRunner on July 19, 2014, 10:38:23 AM
I'm gonna swap out the stock bars for some apes hopefully this winter.  Looking for pics of different brands and heights.  Add the brand, height and if new clutch and brake hoses were needed. Thanks BR

WildOne Chubby WO515 10" mini-apes. Only had to extend the wires. You need to purchase the riser adapter too.

Wild1 "Baby Apes."  If remember correctly it's +2 on all the cables.  Wiring was fine though.

I didn't want the weight of the fairing on the forks. However I miss having two speakers directly in front of me. The windscreen works ok for me but the looks leave a bit to be desired. Its definitely different. I may trade some day in the future but CVO prices are pretty steep. Its nice having a CVO.

Specifically for the 2014 CVO RK, are the stock bars 1 1/4" all the way through the clamping area or do they step down to 1" at the clamp?
Title: Re: Let's see pixs of your ape hangers on your Road King
Post by: Gandrtravis on September 26, 2015, 02:28:13 PM
The 2014 stock bars are 1.25" all the way so you other have to buy bars that are 1.25" at the riser or buy a 2013 riser kit and yaffie doesn't make them 1.25 all the way for are bikes apperently so you have to change the riser I may see if br apes can make them 1.25 for the 2014 instead of changing the riser

Thanks for that info as this is what I thought. BR Customs will do a bar that is 1 1/4 all the way through the mounting area which is the route I will be going once I commit to a design I want.

I fill in with my BRs 16" sweeping beaters once I get them. 1,25 was no problem for BR. Downside it takes forever to get them...but I'll hope once installed everything will be fine.

Just installed 16 in Vindikta Avengers, had to do extended brake and clutch lines along with the wiring, did not have to extend TBW wiring. Only took 2 weeks to get the bars, and ordered the lines through HDBikeParts.com.

I had purchased the parts after talking to the guy at http://www.hdbikeparts.com/ .  I don't remember the guys name but he was very familiar with all aspects of this modification and was excellent to deal with. I had intentions of doing the mod with a buddy but became concerned about the internal wiring challenges. So I had a custom shop down in Fort Collins, CO do it for me. (Sangers Cycles). Glad I did because the shop ended up not using the aftermarket wiring harness since all the splice points were at the same length causing too big a clump so he just fabbed a harness with staggered connection points.

The stock windshield does fit with no problem though I only use it on extended rides, like next month's Pacific Coast Highway ride.

I've been looking at the wild1 12" and 14". I read they have 12" pull back (on the 12.5" rise) and 12.5" pull back (on the 14" rise). That seems like quite a bit, almost like the handlebar ends would be facing at you,  but seems to look good from the photos. You guys like the feel of those bars?

One thing that seems nice about that long pull back is that you can angle the bars straight up which looks nice, instead of angling them down to try and get more reach.

I am trying to scroll through and find the website. I basically told the guy my bike and handlebar size and he sent what I needed. When I find it, I will send ya a PM! The only other thing you should need is the adapter from wild1 to accept 1" bars at the risers. It's around 50 bucks I think.
