 Just pick up my 12" Wild ones, I was told to install the bars then measure to see what length cable to get.
Is this what you all have done. or did you know what length to get. Once I get started it hard for me to
stop. I like to have every thing before I start tearing down.

Go plus 8" on the brake and clutch lines.  Then add in for the throttle by wire.  They have kits for those.

I want to do the same with mine as I had the same bars on my 2011 Limited.  Do they interfere with the GPS at all?

I installed Wild1 578" in 10". They leave your hands behind fairing, and still gives a better riding experience. Didn't like my hands down low with the stock bars.

Check out the bars...

IDK, Don't have a GPS, just follow people who knows where they're going...

Looks like it won't be a problem with the GPS as long as they are pulled back a little bit.  Placing order... :apple:

Kind of a necro post, but I didn't want to start a new topic without using the search function first.  I would like to get some carlini's for my 07 Softail springer fxstsse, but I don't know which ones to buy size wise.  Can anyone with experience please help me.  I emailed carlini and was told the discounted blem apes they have weren't the ones I needed...???  Help me out guys, I appreciate it.  Are they 1.50" or 1.25". Also how hard is this to do yourself?

You need to figure how high you want to go, by sitting on similar bikes with aftermarket bars. Then figure out who makes the style you want. Extending wires and pulling wires can be a pain. Depending upon your mechanical ability.

Massiah,
I know this might be a bit late. But I have a Crossbones, and fitted 16" Carlini Gansta Apes: they come in both 1.25" and 1.50". I put the 1.25" on, and they are great. Only problem is that they are not necked down to 1", so you have to buy the Carlini risers to match. They were also hellish expensive, but after riding with them for a few months, I don't regret paying a bit more.
Cheers,
Peggers
