fatty with mini apes

    I would be checking that out. I have the standard bars on my Fatty, with 4" Pullback Risers and I had just enough length in the front brake hose. I had to move it around to give me the length to suit.

    The wiring was just long enough, although it is still hidden in the bars.

    The throttle cables still have a little play in them and the clutch cable is only just OK.

    I had thought of putting on the 6" Curved risers, but that would have caused a few problems I'm sure.

    Maybe with the mini apes, you may gain enough length as they would be a lot narrower than my standard bars.

     

    Good luck

    I put 12" apes on 2 inch risers without changing anything.

    FXST, also has ABS.

    Hey lads,

    So are you saying that 10 inch apes on the stock risers with internal cables won't work?

    I have 4 inch pull backs, and now that the raked front end is on, the bars are too close. So what I did to get a feel was to spin the riders around and push the bars a bit further up and forward, and I really like the feel of where they are. I don't know what they height is, or what it would be close to in Apes, but all my cables fit.

    Is there any measurements I can take to work it out?

    I would hate to get new bars and then find out I have to replace all my new braided lines. :(

    Cheers
