Default APES ON THE BoB

I was looking to get new apes for my bob for my next mod. I want close to the same hight but thicker tube so i can hide those hiddous wires. I mesured the rise on them and its 12 " i thought they were 10.5 anyways if i go with a 12" ape do i have to replae anything but the bars or ?

I believe they are a 10.5.

The WG has the 12" bars. Your wiring should be OK, and the throttle/idle cables too. Clutch cable might be tight, and you may be able to rig the brakeline to work.

best bet is replace the whole thing, but I have heard of some people bending the hardline to make it phit.

Still... IMO replace it

The stock bars are ten inchers on both bikes.
