I don't know "mini apes". I replaced the stock 2008 RKC handle bar with the "Heritage" handle bar, about a 2 to 3 inch change. The clutch cable, switch wiring, hydraulic line and TBW harness were well able to accommodate the change. Then, not leaning as far forward any more transferred more weight to the seat. Replaced the stock seat with a Ranger seat both for me and the wife. Much better now.
Hmm, wife says "Ranger" doesn't sound correct to her, will add another post if the next name sounds more correct.

Ooops, too late to edit now, might be "Sundowner", may stumble across the receipt one of these days.
