    Hi All,
    I'm planning to replace my stock handlebar as I don't like the riding position. According to my research you can fit up to a 10'' rise by only replacing the front brake line.

    Out of all the bars for sale the 10" Ape Hangers(narrow bottom) HOLEY ROLLER HANDLEBARS is what appeals the most to me. Link below


    I would really appreciate some feedback from people that have swapped their bars. Perhaps point me out to other bars that I can find locally that can also improve the riding and looks.

    hi mate 
    I done this a few months ago , 10 inch apes one inch riser 

    All you need to do is extend the electronic wiring and buy a brake line.

    I got my brake line from birdz and bits , its braided costed $46 delivered .

    Also clutch cable . Was maybe 60 delivered from the states

    Thank you very much for the heads up guys I end up going for a locally sourced Biltwell Frisco Handlebars - 1 inch - Black. I guess I will try fitting it and order parts as required.
