A member here that goes by the name JRK5892 has 14 inch apes with 2.5" risers with stock cables. But I believe he had to bend his brake line a bit.

But anything around there I suppose would work. I've read that some people used the 12.5" chubbies with stock cables. Those look good!

Default Hey Joe

What brand of apes are those? I'm having a hard time finding a set that aren't too wide at the base.... Those look perfect.

Thanks
