I am looking to switch from my mini apes on my 08 SB to a bigger set of apes. I was wondering if anyone has gone any bigger without having to change their wires.

 

If I remember, JRK went to 14's without changing cables and just rebent the front brake line. He may clarify better though. I know you can search the forum and come up with a bunch of threads about it.

I wouldn't worry about the harness. I added 16's without adding anything to the harness. It's at the limit though. If I went taller either with bars or risers I'd definitely be adding to the harness.

 

i have 12s on mine right now with out switching anything and i have 14s comming and it looks like i have enough brake and wire left to do it without changing anything

 

Im looking to do 14's ratt if you remember let me know how that works out for you

 

I sure will. I hope that they get here this week. If they do I should have them installed this week too. Unless i decide to powder coat them black first. Been thinking real hard about doing that.

 

I've done 14's on my '08 Street Bob.

You will probably need new throttle, idle and clutch cables. Break line can be rerouted. Wire harness will be long enough.

You will gain som length by bending the tiny tubes on the throttle and idle, but maybe not enough.

 

ratt black bars would look really good on your scoot!!!

These are 13's on my 07, buggered up the wires so i cut and extended, but all cables are stock, not sure I could have squeezed 14's out...

 

I got a set of 14s at a show and plain to put them on this week end. I will let you know how they fit.

 

I just test fitted the 14s and there is no way the cables are long enough. Now I have to try and figure out what length cables to get.

 

Stock length +4 or 6 then you will have enough to go to 16"
