How much can the stock mini apes on the Street Bob be adjusted without replacing brake, clutch, and throttle cables...? I would imagine some fine adjustment of the throttle cables and possibly the clutch cable would be necessary.....but is there anything else to consider?
&nbsp\\;
I am looking to raise mine to make them look more toward traditional ape hangers...but not so much I want to replace them.

 

I think you could add 2 to 3 inches in the riser without any problem.

 

Actually I am thinking of simply rotating the bars more vertical. So are you saying I can rotate the bars 2-3 inches more toward vertical and all else will be ok?

 

ooh man you have plenty room, i have 14 apes with 2.5 risers on stock cables

 

If you have stock risers you can push those grips as far forward as you want. Cover your tank with a thick blanket before you loosen those riser clamps, in case you drop the bars onto the tank.

 

no matter where you put em the length is the same

 

Thanks guys....

rounder - I feel stupid....[8D]

 

Covering the tank is GREAT advice!

 

when I wanted to get a feel for how high I wanted my apes I put four inch risers on without changing any cables/wiring. I am a giant ape so I just got a pair of 18" apes, I will need new cables for those ....you can push the stock mini apes as far forward as you want really....

Good plan, I ran 6 inch risers for a week, then 4 inchers for about 6 months. I was happy with the grip height, so I bought a set of Wild One apes that were the same height mounted on stock risers as the stock bars were mounted on 4 inch risers. I am switching cables just cause I want the extra room to rotate the bars, but they fit with stock.
