I purchased a set of pre wired 14" LA choppers Twin Peaks from Hill Country Customs. Did the install after watching this video. piece of cake.
+james ledet Thanks for the business. Glad the video helped. That is our goal
Needed to adjust my bars and was mad as a hornet thinking I had to take fairing off. Saved me a lot of time by mentioning that little tid bit about the back two bolts. Best ape hanger install video I've seen by far
Just received my prewired 12” bars. Will install them once I get over Covid. 😡 Awesome quality!! Very informative video. Thanks.
Awesome video!! The conversion looks amazing, and you make it seem like even a novice mechanic could take this job on!
Neat trick hearing the fuel pump run while the tank was on the shelf, lol. Otherwise nice video.
You make it look soooo easy. AWESOME watching professional instal
Black Koga Ninja 8-10hrs of work crammed into a half hr video
Best soundtrack ever the instructions are perfect also
I’m about to install pre wired 16” ape hanger on my 2009 ultra classic…this how to video helps me a lot! Thank you!…👍🏼 27:30
Thanks a bunch for your library of videos, very helpful and the tips and tricks make the tasks much easier! Keep up the great work.
I thought it was crazy how much the dealer wanted to charge to add 14" bars to a Street Glide... I understand now! Great video, thanks
How much are they asking?
@@saleentrixx where I'm at I've see prices from $1200 to over $2k. Dealer was the most, local custom shops seem more reasonable
now i know why the dealer charges $ 1600.. nice explanation , very professional...
Great video. It lets me know that I don’t want to do it. I love them 12” hell bent apes. I’m looking at putting them on my dresser by someone else lol. Keep up the good work.
As I sit here watching your video I realize that I ordered bars, risers, bushings and a clamp from you a couple days ago. Can't wait to get 'em in!
Nice!!!! Thanks for the business. Sure hope these videos will you you with the install.

Great video! I want to put new bars on my 2012 Ultra... well not me... I want you to do it! LOL... really I do!
Getting ready to order some 20" bars from you guys. Ready to get to work and put some time on two!
I know this video and most of the comments are older but im wanting to swap bars on my 2013 street glide. I've read a ton of forum posts and heard experiences from those who have done it. And results seem to vary widely with who has been able to reuse stock lines and who needed longer cables. Id like a 12" bar, ideally the kst kustoms six bend kicker as I prefer the rounded 90° bend. Ive had some tell me go for it and I wont need anything else aside from rider bushings. And others said order all new lines and wires. Dealer also told me there's probably a 90% chance I could make 12's work with stock lines, I'll do the work myself of course.
I just installed JSR's "Bad Attitude 12" apes on my 2010 Roadglide. I used stock clutch cbl , brake cbl, left, right and throttle wiring. Just had to take the mirror off and thread the clutch cable thru to the rear of the crashbar. It was surprisingly easy install.
The tedious part, feeding the wires through the bars and resplicing. took About 6 hours off and on sitting at the dinner table.:)
P.S. You have to eliminate the TBW plugs as they wont turn the corners and cut the black jacket off left and right wire bundles to get them through.
Just read your post, I also have a 10 Road glide thinking about 12" apes.
Did you have to put a different neck where the bars mount?
@@36ELGALAN Nope, stock risers and clamps. Always go with stock HD clamps as I've heard horror stories about import risers snapping off; everything was stock. Make sure to get RoadG or StreetG apes. They are wider at the base for the gauge clam shell to close. Remember anything over 12" will be pushing it...
@@aboutmyfathersbusiness8324 Thanks a lot for your response, I plan on getting the same one's you have.
How have they panned out?
@@36ELGALAN Good. I'm 6'1" so the ride stance , shoulder height is much more comfortable than OEM. Only minor downside is your knuckles are not as protected with the fairing. This is where heated grips and a good pair of gloves come in. Haven't did heated grips yet. Secondarily it makes the bike look bad arse...
GREAT VIDEO!! JUST NEED TO GET THE MEAT HOOKS ON NOW!! THANKS, CHEERS GLEN
Amazing Video I think I’m ready to install my own handlebars thanks again
Nice job on the install 👍 great job on explaining the install 👍👍
Your videos are the best and the music always rocks!🤘😎🤘
I love baggers with ape hangers
Thanks for the video! Very helpful!
great tutorial easy to follow and understand
Thank you!!!!
Just bought your 16s, anxious to try this install. I'm doing my own wiring, so I would like to see your how-to video if you have it.
Did I miss the tip on just replacing the riser bushings?? Can I just turn the bar to either side to gain access?
Such and awesome video - thank you... just installed my apes this weekend.
+c your welcome, thanks for watching
... thank YOU Robert !
Good job,well covered👊
Do you have any videos on the process after you changed the top abs brake line? Do you just refill and bleed every line?
When you tightened the top riser bolts, did you use a torque wrench? I ask because I need to adjust my bars with the new seat I put on.
great viedo step by step on how to do bars
Gute Arbeit-Good Work :)
What is different between this and doing a 2007 street glide? Just bought dominator meat hooks and will be installing them soon.
Great video, I did want to see the phone holder as that's on my list too, keep up the great work
+Quicksteel1911 Thanks for the comment! We appreciate you watching! That phone is an easy install, just adding it to the clutch perch.
Found your video!
Do you think on a 2013 street glide I could use stock cables with 12” bars. Someone said they cut all the zip ties and got the most out of there wires and it fit but I’m asking y’all with probly way more experience
How tall are these bars? I did 12 inch on my Glide and didnt have to change any wires or lines
What year is ya glide?
Good job. Greetings from Germany. THX
great video on replacing Handel Bar's
That was awesome, thanks for the video!
Awesome channel man.
i love your videos!
Any chance of you doing a video like this on a 13 RoadGlide Ultra?
Do you need an extension kit for a 2009 FLHTUC for 12” apes? What’s recommended?
Robert do you also check the heated grips for heat during the electrical check? Just bought your complete 14 Apes with heated grips (did not have before).
Hi I have a 2010 Electra Glide and I was wondering what are the tallest apes I can install w/o having to extend the cables or wires?
I'll planning DIY to install. Love your videos, and trust your advice.
very well presented step by step thanks!
+Keltingr Thanks!!
How much to do all that to my 2009 Ultra Classic Peace Officer Edition? All chrome, you install..
hi, i had following your video to fix my handlebar on my Flhx 2012. At the time to reinstal the ignition, I have no power on the bike. What do I have to do! Thank you for the response
Great job.....
Does this apply to 90s Electra glide models ?
Good job
Whats the plug n play kit # for 2009 SG?
Any chance you could do a video of install on 07 ultra classic 8",10 "ape hangers
How tall are these?
NICE
great video. Other videos show not removing the tank. Is it necessary to remove the tank ?
It's not necessary to remove the tank on all handlebar installations depending on the bike, but on this specific bike it's far easier to remove the tank and get it out of the way. Can you keep it on? Possibly. But the amount of work that has to be done to access certain fairing bolts and cable installations will likely cost you far more time in the long run. Plus keeping the tank on increases the risk of damaging paint from lubricants used or tools dropped, which would is not fun. The tank removal is quite easy and in our opinion far worth the few minutes to relieve many future headaches. Thanks for watching!
Thank you again !
Doesnt look like you have to take the tank off. Is it?
awesome video....
+RikWCrlsn Thank you !!!
Nice video... What is the rise on the bars that you installed in the video? What was the original rise on the stock bars? I have a 2012 CVO Ultra.
Stock rise is 8.5" and those are 14" Hell Bent bagger bars
The the green connector is keeping it from going into bars
Can I bypass it ???
i installed my apes did the wiring myself just added length and instaled clutch cable
You say you added length, did you buy a longer cable or how did you extend it?
Just ordered your 14's for an flhtcu. I'm trying to gauge how these will fit for me. How tall are you? (I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever asked another guy how tall he is.) Thanks
Not a problem. I answer that same question several times per day. I am 5' 11" and 14's are the perfect height for me in regards to comfort. I could go 16's if I wanted to make a little more of a statement and still be comfortable though. FYI, 14" is our most popular size by far. By the way, thanks for choosing HCC for your handlebar needs. We really appreciate the business!!!
Hi there, my bars locked turned to the left, how o I unlock, tried putting ignition back...?? Thank you
How did you get them unlocked? Mine are locked to the left as well.
Are there any negative side effects to energizing the bike for the switch testing with the brake line disconnected from the mc and air in the line?
+kapa8835 If you have ABS, I would not turn the key on until the brake line is bleed. Preferably, test the switches before you take the old brake line off
@@HillCountryCustomCycles will do, thanks for the reply!
Hi Great VID! Looking for a 10"-12" bar that will get my wrists straight as possible with knuckles facing forward 2017 CVO Street Glide any suggestions Thanks!
Paul Navarro if you doing 10 inch you shouldn’t need extensions you just have to re run the lines simple
Will 12" let me use the original wiring and cables?
Are these 14" or 16" bars ???
What's the name of that song playing in back ground?
Do you sell these bars with a 10" rise in gloss black to suit a 2013 CVO Ultra limited anniversary ? if so , what price are they.
The shortest we sell at the moment is a 12", since the rise on stock bars is 8.5". Will 12" work for you?
What length of lines did you use? My buddy just got 12” apes for his 13” road glide and it looks like he needs a longer brake line and clutch cable
Could you run stock cables on 2008 street glide with 14” apes?
Totally can if anyone’s wondering. Brake lines tight and re routed my clutch cable
@@bleather94 hey man did you using your original brake line ? I got 2009 Electra glide here & will install 13" ape , got extended burly clutch but I'm not sure if my throttle by wire & brake line need extending 🤔
What's the point of removing the ignition ?
These videos are nice.....ordering form them not so nice
What height bars are shown in this video?
14s, should have looked harder haha
Do y'all sell the bars with cables all ready run with clips and New clutch and brake line. If so is there a website.
Anyone know what an install like this cost if your provide bars but need cables and install
Sorry about the late reply, but the cost can vary depending on cable length and installation needs. Feel free to call the shop for a more accurate pricing, it should only take a few minutes to figure out exactly what you need. 877-755-4455 Thanks!
where these 14 inch bars or 16?
can I send you my bars and controls and you wire them... if so how much.. to make plug and play???
Sure thing!!! However, I will need to find out more info about your bike and what kind of handlebars you want to use first. Give me a call at the shop when you get a chance 512-264-7333 ext. 100
Hill Country Custom Cycles
Can I get the 14 inch in black?
+scotty gafford you sure can. Give us a call, 512-264-7333
What brand cellphone holder was that? I need one..lol 😂
Don’t really see why everybody takes the gas tank off it’s not like it’s really in your way
I can't find that Allen wrench on your website.
+pyro707 Sorry man, but we don't have that kit up at the moment. I'd be happy to send you one if you give me a call at the shop.
How many hours of labor would you say this is? I'm guessing around 15.
Not even close to 15. We'd say anywhere from 3 - 4 hours is a safe bet. Preparation is key, making sure you have all the parts and tools available on-hand before you start will save a lot of time. Obviously mechanical skills come into play as well, but many people surprise themselves when they find out just how simple it can be when you have proper guidance. And that's the ultimate goal in all these videos, we don't want to trick you into thinking something is easy when it's not. We believe pretty much anyone can knock out this install in an evening.
Thanks guys!
Ciao scusa volevo sapere dove va collegato la porta USB, necessita di un modulo quale?

+Rodney harrelson which front bolts?
