    Another great video Robert. For 50 years I've always had a service manual and a Parts Book beside me when wrenching. Respect from East Coast Canada.

    The clutch ramp tip is a really good one. It also reduces the clutch pull pressure on the lever.

    Hi mate
    Nice video, I m doing my handlebar on Harley deluxe 2018 with smaller connector. But when I Cut the wiring to extend I didn’t notice that there are 2 wires of each colour. Now I can tell as it’s been cust . Bit dumb of me. I tried to find wiring diagram to match the wires but no luck. Have you got any idea which side which as on 2018 there are no sleeves on the wire like older models.

    I bought apes because of the pullback they can give you. I’m, short and prefer the look over reach handlebars. He’s right, don’t knock it til you’ve tried it.

    Good evening. I have a question. I installed 18” apes on my 2014 road king non abs, I wired the bars internally with heat shrink, however my right blinker and oil light on the dash stays illuminated but when I put it in gear the oil light goes out. I also have no neutral light now. I pulled the wires back out to check for any disconnections or breaks and have found nothing. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you

      @Sgt Rock, how’d that work out. I love those bars. I want my bars still be just below my shoulders. I’m 6 feet. Was thinking about the Carlini 14’s. I’m worried they might be a little high

    You know I am a DIY kind of guy, but for this kind of stuff I'll leave it to the Pros so I could enjoy my ride knowing that it was done right the first time.

      I was scared installing my smart siren 2 on new Softails, too many stuffs to remove but the key is that you have all tools. I end up finishing it in less than an hour, the damn dealer quoted me 2 hrs ($95 per hr) to finish it.

      Mistake #2 - Never giving them a chance. They are popular for many good reasons. Don’t knock it till ya try it. Once you go ape, you’ll never go back.

      David Jean I agree. I draw a distinction between “tall bars” and apes.
