Handlebar help!
I have a 15 street Bob with stock 12 inch mini apes. I want to change them out for Nash mini gimp hangers and I'd really like to keep the install as simple as I can as far as wiring goes... So my question is do I go with 12 inch Nash bars and make it easy or do I try the 14s that I'd really like to have and try to make the wiring and cables stretch? Does anyone know how much extra length is in the wires on the street Bob?
Thanks b

My '16 came with 10in bars and I put black 10" Wild1s just last week. Double check that measurement as I thought they were 12's also and was wrong. The only wiring that had some slack were the ones inside the bars, the clutch and throttle couldn't stretch anymore than the 10 inches so keep that in mind. The brake line could have given me maybe 1 1/2 inches but it woulda been tight. I took lots of measurements before hand and I came up with the same conclusion. Finding the connectors on the right side was tough since it was buried. The left side was simple.

Street Bobs come with 10" bars from 06' to current unless you custom ordered different bars. Wires are pretty much good for going up to 16" without the need of additional length. The cables are a different story, one could most likely get away with adding 12" bars, but anything above 14" it would be best to replace the cables. For about $220-$250 one could order all new cable from Barnett Clutches, their price is the same from stock length all the way to +12". I just put them on my bike with the 14" bars I added, cables are awesome.
