I'm new here and currently own a 2015 Harley low rider. I'm looking for advice on putting ape hangers on this bike and exchanging the cables. Harley doesn't seem to know how to help.
It depends on what you want. The low rider has the strange risers, so if I had one and was switching to apes I would pick some decent looking short risers. The cable lengths are going to depend on the height of the bars. You need to pick a style and height of bars, then someone here can probably suggest a cable length for you.
Get rid of that riser set up, I hate it, I just installed my apes this weekend. I was told they are 14" but they sit above my shoulders, not by too much, still comfortable. I bought stock super glide cables, I was told they are the same as street bob cables, come to find out none of them will fit. Luckily the swapmeet was this weekend in long beach, I got a set of apes, 3.5 inch riser, longer steel braided clutch cable and longer steel braided throttle cables for 40 dollars.
You can get a healight relocation kit from Dk customs for like 30 dollar, thats what I did. Or you can get a stcok streetbob headlight with mount. The internal wiring is easy, the stock wires will reach. I also used a stock street bob riser....here are some pics, though I took these in the middle of working on it so not complete...
Here is a break down of what you will need...
-Bars
-Headlight or relo kit
-risers
-longer clutch cable
-longer throttle cables
-Longer brake line (Dual disc ABS or non depends on what you have)
-Transmission cover gasket
-lots of beer.
oh BTW, when you are pulling the wiring out of the frame, be mindful that the start stop switch side wiring actually has 2 plugs. One is alot smaller than the other, I ended up tuggin on it and pulling the wire out of the connector....Pain in the *****.
Welcome to the forum! I agree that I would change out risers. I'd consider just the stock street bob risers. Here's a thread on handlebars, there may be some info to help you out. I believe Road 6 Customs sells complete kits, bars and cables. You could email them and ask, I've heard they have good customer service. Have you thought about going t-bars to just skip the whole riser situation? I know, t-bars aren't for everyone.
