I want to put about 10 inch ape hanger bars (dont want to replace cables) on this bike.  I am having trouble since our riser is 1.25 vs. 1 inch.  Any thoughts???

I haven't looked but check Wild 1's. They make Apes and they also make Apes for Springers. Hoist!

do you think you can go to 10" apes and not replace throttle/clutch cables?
what about the internally routed wiring from the controls?
I wanted to go with apes too but keep talking myself out of it due to ridiculous costs of all the parts I'd need to buy
please let us know how this works out
thanks

I know that my other bikes I have had, I put Wideglide bars on without changing cables etc.  I did not take into account the typical wider stance of the Springer front end. 

The other thing I worry about is the hydraulic clutch.  With this, I assume some bars wont work that are fat??

Oh well...I will keep plugging...

Thanks for the lead, but the bars are a solid size...and dont need indented at the base for the riser. 

I have seen my problems are simple   As always


I have hydraulic clutch.  I am not sure if I need a special bar to do so.

The risers are solid size, so no indentation for the risers



Let me know what you guys think....

Shodan, check out Wild 1's.  http://www.wild1inc.com/handlebars.html  P/N WO514, 9.5" Springer Apes. You might get lucky with cables, lines, and wiring. They're predrilled and accept the Hyd Clutch Master. I'm putting the 10" Baby Apes on my SERK and taking my chances on these things. If they're not long enough, then I'll get longer stuff. You have a decent chance of these making it on the 9.5's. Hoist!

Thanks I will check into it.....

I'm probably wrong - but  - I don't think the house of handlebars ones are going to fit
they go back to 1" where the risers are and the new FXSTSSE is a constant 1.25" all the way along the bottom
check before you order

Yup.  That has been one of the issues I have come up with. 

I found a few, but think I have decided to wait to change due to the sheer volume of what all I would have to change.  I just got my detachable windshield mount, and see that it disappears in with the springs which is a nice touch. 

Thanks for all the input.

Hey Steve can you post a picture with the detachable windshield? I was debating one.
Thanks,

Turns out the 2007 Dyna Wide Glide uses  1 1/4 inch bars and rises with it's "apes"  a Harley Wide Glide handlebar wire set should fit
for clutch and throttle it looks like a set off of a 2007 Road King or Glide (CVO) would be in the Diamond braid and be long enough
I was just up at South East Harley and spent a few minutes going over the stats !!

Thanks Beer -

I think I have decided to keep it the way it is for now....I got the wiring down pat, but I was thinking the riser is about 1 inch wider, not allowing me to use the Dyna bars....I got a set on order just in case....

I will let you guys know.

Thanks for the link, I had forgotten about that place.  They have a fat Knuckle bar for springers that looks interesting. 

The spacing between the risers is wider on the springers.  I have ran into the same problem looking for a different bar.  I don't really care for the "beach" bar HD offers. 

I wasn't really looking for a fat bar just something with a different grip angle.  The FLSTSC has a really annoying bend that really works against you without the windshield installed.
