Default 1.25 mini apes

can anyone please tell me why H-D wants me to get all new cables when i put on a set of there 1.25'' mini apes,,,,makes no sense to me,,,bars look the same as on a wide glide 07...
don't actually want the H-D bars just the 1.25 diameter,,,
going to go aftermarket so i will not have to buy the pricey H-D risers.

also will be selling my streetslammer bars and diamondback cables this early spring,,,after installing the 3degree midglide triple trees.

thanks for any info..........jim

Got a part number for those new bars? You can compare the specs on HD's website.

Stock mini-apes like the ones on the Street Bob are:
Diameter - 1"
Height / rise - 10"
Width - 34 1/4"
Pullback - 10"
Center - 8"

I'm glad we've got good dealers around here. They try to help and not bend you over. I installed the 1-1/4 HD apes with the 3" Stealth HD risers. I only had to bend the brake line a little on my Streetbob. Everything else worked fine.
