We show you step by step how to install a set of Arlen Ness mini ape hangers on our Twin Cam Softail. We changed out our cables and brake line for longer units and for a clean look we routed the wires through the bars.

Love the way the guy gives you a little tips on how not to fuck up, sounds like words of experience there. I've been working on cars and bikes all my life, doesn't matter how long you do it, you always make little mistakes here and there that you have to straighten out as you go. This guy is very knowledgeable. Great video.

I dig that this guy used a set of bars that are specifically made to come apart and make this install easier, but he didn't so it shows how much really goes into a bar install.

@jpcycles 4 жыл бұрын

No, I showed exactly what goes into a bar install. We used those bar specifically for a the look. I actually prefer to do non modular bars. We have other bar installs that are not modular also. - Patrick

Wait, I must have missed it, did you have to extend your switch housing wires? I am putting 13" mini apes on my 07 FLHRS and am trying to figure out if I need to extend those or not. Thanks

I like to use spraycan clearcoat so I can reuse my grips if I ever change bars again much easier to remove and reinstall. It gets hard and if you ever want to remove just slide a thin piece of sheet metal between the bar and the grip and it will break the bond allowing you to slide the grip right off

@stephenrutland6648 8 ай бұрын

If you squirt some Zippo fuel on the bar, get the nozzle just inside the grip and twist, and all the adhesive just melts. Slides off easily

Like the video!!! Was just wondering if you ever do videos for metric bikes? Almost every video out is for Harleys. Would like to see something like that on an old metric just to see a comparison.

Wondering what are some Handlebar options other than mini apes for a 2016 Dyna LowRider.

@jpcycles 4 жыл бұрын

Plenty of T-bar options out there. A good combo is the Biltwell Murdock risers and Tracker bars. www.jpcycles.com/handlebars-and-controls/biltwell

I'm trying to find what actually came on the 2015 Fatboy. Whoever had it before I bought it, changed the original handle bars to a set of Drag style handle bars, and I hate them. I don't like how they feel or look, and the person took everything off the bike, and I'm also going to have to buy a 2" riser and whatever else I need to buy. Would like to know what type of original handle bars came on the 2015 and need know what else I need.

@emmatommasoni7815 4 жыл бұрын

What sizes are the actual risers? do the handlebar fit 2019 rk special?

@jpcycles 4 жыл бұрын

very short riser only 2". The riser wouldn't work with the RK but the bars would. We used them on this RK build kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZx8pdliy6m0c5c.html

No, those are Roland Sands Moto Crossbar handlebars. The risers that are on the bike in the beginning are 2 inches.

I see that you didn’t have to bleed the brakes when you installed the brake cable, was that correct?

we didn't have to. The original bars that were on this bike were taller so we already had excess wire tucked away on the bike.

I have a 2016 Fat Boy S, I want to put 16in Carlini apes on it. Do you know if the original wires are at least long enough to make it through the bars, then I can add the wire extensions to make it work?

You can use a number of different kits to replace the lines on your bike with the longer ones you need. Or piece it together yourself.
