Right now i have the stock risers on my mini ape's , i just recieved in the mail today those Biltwell Gen2 Frisco bars , i matched them up to my stock riser and it seems i would have to go higher for the stock cables to reach i'm thinking a 4 inch riser , a 6 inch would be to high ? Has anybody put them on a Dyna Street Bob or any other 2006 and up Dyna , anybody with some tech knowledge on what would be best to use please give me some suggestions

Thanks ! Rick

 

Nice bar choice, I heard about the problems with the I guess gen 1 Frisco bar. How tall are the gen 2, 8"? You should be happy with a 4" riser, I think the 6" would push your cable limits.

 

Maybe I didn't understand your statement. Going higher makes the cables reach? I would think the higher they are, the further the cable would have to stretch/reach and them being lower than stock wouldn't be an issue. I'm ordering the new Frisco bars also. Now I'm just confused.

 

Hello, Frisco's are 7" rise my stock 8.75" if i'm reading the diagrams correctly , Regards Rick

 

Because the frisco's handlebars are shorter ( lower ) than the apes , meaning the cables and brake lines are longer now , i don't want to bend the brake lines so i will put taller risers to make up the difference , keep watching this post , i'm confused too !

 

I'd put the Frisco's on the bike and see how they look first hand before you spend cash on something you might not actually need.

 

I can't put them on all the way because the cables are to long now i have to raise the bar up , i have seen them on other bikes on the internet and look great to me !

For those of you that Don't know about Biltwell, they make some fantastic products and customer service is top notch. Here's the bars:

 

Nice to see they are making dimpled bars now. They used to be a bit snobbish about it before.

 

Yes you are reading the diagrams correctly, but some people identity a bar height by the total height not the center to center of tube. There for the mini ape rise 8.75" + tube 1" (1/2 inch on the top and bottom) is a 9.75 tall bar but most people around here refer to them ans 10's.

JRK used to run a 3.5" riser with his stock mini apes and wires and he said that he had to bend his throttle cables slightly. So if the stock risers are 1.5 note that is from the bottom of the riser to the center of the bar, you can go +2" with the stock bars. since your bitchen little friscos are 1.75 shorter you should get +3.75 over stock on the risers. So technically you should be able to run at least a 5.25" Riser. Another thing to consider would be the position of your bars and cable routing can give needed or take away some surpluses cable length.
