Sorry fella's been away, and then the lads were up from the Island when I came back....

1 1/4 " will be beefy enough for the fat boy, I believe they are called chubbies....not cheap.

You will need to replace all cables if you go bigger then 13"....I just bought a new wiring harness, instead of soldering the stock.

I bought the whole deal from Hill country customs in Texas, they will send you the right length cables based on the Bike, based on model/year/ape size you choose:

You can get 1 1/2" apes. I like a lot of chrome and fat bars, but these look funny. I'd second the 1 1/4" bars. The top 3 brands are Burly, Wild1, and Carlini. Check it out. I personally like the turn on the Burly Bars. You might also want to check out this link for great bars that come prewired and have braided cables:
