I like the Street Bob handle bar height. Can the 10" handle bar be fit on a Super Glide without extending the cables?

There doesn't seem to be much consistency to the way different vendors measure and name their bars. I had a brand new set of these in my attic http://www.jpcycles.com/product/5000840 when I bought my 07 SB. PO had dropped it on a trailer and the bars were bent. These bars are EXACTLY the same dimensions as the bars that were on my bike - I laid them side by side and the only differences were due to the damage. I assume they were original as there were no signs of having been changed out.

This chart gives the HD dimensions http://www.harley-davidson.com/pna/p...bmLocale=en_US

Stock bars for my bike are 56079-93 which show a rise of 8.5"

Some have done it, only needed to bend brake line tubing.

I just did this very conversion. The Street Bob "Mini-Apes" are 12" according to H-D. You can NOT put these on without extending the cables and wires. You can generally get away with 1 1/2" additional bar height without changing cables and wires, occasionally 2", but more than that (this conversion adds 4") and you must lengthen the cables and wires. Easiest way to do that is to order the Street Bob throttle, brake, and clutch cables; you can splice in additional wire easily enough that there is no need to change the wires.

On a side note, for me, the 12" mini-apes weren't enough additional height. I'm kicking myself for not going with 18" apes, but the mechanics talked me out of it. Really think about where you want your hands when riding, and be sure to get the right bars the first time.

Please enlighten us to the above comments. Everywhere I have looked stated that the Mini-Apes on the StreetBob are 10". You said according to H-D they are 12". Please post a link to this to verify. 12" and up are usually considered regular apes, not mini apes.
