Default Apes

OK so my daughter just got a new to her 2002 Dyna and is wanting to put Apes on it and forward controls.

My question to you guys is. How tall can I go with the stock cables 12" or 14"? or am I looking at having to change them too.

I have 2013 Road Glide Ultra with 16" bars.

I am just not sure on Dyna's its beena long time since rode em.

Thanks

Drifter

Hard to say, if the factory stuff is still on it, I’d probably be replacing the lines anyway. If they aren’t the factory stuff, you’ll have to measure. If the lengths I ordered for my 99 are any indicator, 12s are going to be tight with factory length lines.

You might be able to get 8's? Maybe 10's? With stock cables. Nothing higher unfortunately, unless someone else hadn't already changed the cables out.
I had 12's put on with wires and then went to 14's without changing wires.

Now going taller again..

Hey drifter.... Something else to think about with apes....

The width of the bars is something to think about.. My 14in bars were narrow and after going 16in and wider I am now more comfortable... So check the width for comfort before you buy
