Frisco bars installation
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
Thanks ! Rick

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.

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

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.
