From apes back to stock handlebars help
I'm in the market for a used Road King and some of the ones i like have ape hangers. I'm not into them and would like to run either stock or an improvement on stock bars. Would i need new cables? Can the cabling be cut down? any suggestions on how to do this and what bars to use would be appreciated. Thanks

Stock take off bars are almost give-aways for most people. Any swap meet would be littered with them. IMHO, beware........ beware stock Road King bars like the 2013 generation bars. They are nothing short of Chinese torture implements. They force you to hunch over, and no amount of adjustment will help. They work fine on smaller frames like softails, or with pullback risers. But otherwise, garbage. As far as shorter cables, thats your call. If lots of slack bothers you, replace them. The big issue will be wiring. Almost every set of apes is internally wired. So be prepared to have to do a complete rewire job with the new bars. And that always sucks.
