I bought a set of 10in risers and 5.5in rise bars from Thrashin Supply. According to their website, stock cables will work with a 15in rise. They don't. Not even close. So I gotta buy cable/wiring extensions and therein lies my question. When I had my Road King I went from 16in apes to the same 15.5 in rise T-bars I bought for the Glide and my clutch cable had like a foot of slack. If anyone is running T-bars, what height and what length cables do you go with?
I'll have to measure mine again. But I have the 9 1/2in risers with a one inch spacer (10&1/2") with the mid bends and I had allot of cable/lines leftover.. Could have gone higher.
Really? It seemed like there was almost no additional slack when I pulled the cowl off Saturday. Did you have to reroute them or are they clamp down somewhere else besides the risers?
Unless its a CVO ST you should have plenty of clutch cable and brake line. Im running the 9.5 risers with 1 spacers and their high bend bars and it still has a little slack left. The bars are narrower so you do gain a little there as well.
No I just look a quick tertiary look after I pulled off the cowl. I should have known better than to assume the cables weren't zip tied in like 10 different spots. Thanks for the input yall.
F Finally got around to getting my bars on. 9in risers and 5.5in rise bars fit with room to spare. Definitely didn't look like it was going to when I first looked at it a few weeks back. Now I just need to find something to cover the plugs. I know they're waterproof but it's just for peace of mind. Probably gonna grab the trashin' top and bottom triple tree.
