Street Bob Apes

[Cowhead]

I'm new here, so I'm sure this has been covered. I want to put 16"(or should I go 18") apes on my 08 Street Bob.
Just wanting to know what is involved and cost etc...

Thanks

The height of the bars depends greatly on how tall you are. With apes like that you will definitely need new throttle cables, cluch cable, wiring extension and new front brake line. There is a company out in Texas that can put together a complete package of just what you need. If it's ok I will post a link to them.

I thought some of the 08's had the fly-by set up??

That may very well be true!

Their phone number is 512-264-7333

Harley Ape Hangers - Hill Country Custom Cycles


They have a Ebay store also under hcccycles

Just the touring models. The Street Bob is still cables

If you could post a link that would be great. I think I would rather buy it all at once (If I can afford it). I'm 6'2 and have ridden a couple of bikes with 16"s. they felt fine. What is a Fly-By setup???

Electronic throttle instead of cables.

Here are a few pics. One with stock bars and other with 16" apes. I'm 6'4" and find them very comfortable.
