Thanks for the insights! I was thinking about this particular mod for a while

 

Hi, I'm am considering the same bars and I am not looking at tree replacement, I do also like the integrated riser, so one option is lower your forks flush with the tree, then change your fork cap with the following

It make things very clean, af far as lines go, if you like the apparence of your lines, I mean by this the curves they take on installed as stock, then you need to replace them, you can go without but lines will look stretch.....

Good luck!

 

While I haven't actually replaced my bars yet, I'm in the process of trying to decide what I'm going to go with and have been doing a bit of research. Generally from what I understand most 12" in bars should work just fine with the stock cables.

BUT, the ones you are looking at are not only 2.5" taller than stock but they are also at least 3.5" wider. A lot of bars people put on (especially the z style) are actually narrower than stock so take that into consideration.

My guess would be not all the stock cables are going to be long enough with the wild 1's especially if you do any type of riser.

 

i just put on a set of burley 12" and relocate sigs on my 2011 fxdb. they are taller and wider than stock bars and everything fit just fine. cables look good like they did before bar swap out. i did buy an extension kit for this swap but didnt use it.
maybe you should do the swap and then replace cables if they look too tight? save some $$ or get the cables and return em if you dont use em.

 

Just gonna throw this out there. In the time it took you to submit this thread, you could have found the info you requested by the search function. I for one, come here for intresting threads and seeing the same old same day in and day out isnt what I have in mind.

 

Well, I'm going to continue on this "uninteresting thread".

10" is stock mini ape height? I measured my stock mini apes on my 09 SB at about 12". This is from bottom of the bottom bar to top of the top bar. Am I measuring this wrong? Should it be from center line to center line? I've been thinking about moving up to 16" this winter, but I thought that wold only be a 4" increase, not 6".

 

just going to throw this out there,
i cant speak for your bars but mine where 10" mini apes. i think that most street bobs came with the 10" but not sure. you will for sure need longer cables. possibly electrical extensions. i know that there are kits out there for what you need. check ebay.
if you check thru the thread near the top of dyna's forum that reads "important threads-best of dyna's" , you will find a bunch of links to bar swaps/apes. good thread to read thru. i did before i started my project. helped big time.

 

And in the time it took you to read the OP and type your response, you could have been looking for more interesting threads instead of clicking on a 2 year old one - which, by the way, clearly states what the thread is going to be about... Just sayin'
