So originaly I was gonna run 8" straight risers and nightrod bars but after ordering all the parts and preping them for powdercoat, I decided to mock it up and I don't like the riding position. So back to apes... How tall can I go with the stock cables and wires?

Post some pics of your bob with apes please and let me know how high you went.

Thanks for the help.

I was able to get the stock control wires internally ran in my 18's. had to get longer cables though.

 

depends on the year to be honest with your 08 you would lucky to get 14's on there... on my 06 i was able to get a 16.5 rise on the stock cables after i re routed them and redid the bends in my brake line

 

I've got 12" bars on 2" risers on my '08 FXDB and all the stock wires and cables worked fine.

 

I have 18s on my 06 and changed everything to braided.....

 

14 inch nash midget gimps worked with factory.........now i have 16 pudgy gimps and it took +3 idle/throtle, +4 clutch and +2 brake, but i like my cables a very specific way.

 

4 inch pullback risers and stock mini apes.. stock wires and cables worked fine..

 

I was checking out your site, where did you get those hard bags for a Dyna?

 

Just ordered some 14" apes I'll post a pic when I get them mounted.

 

Very curious about this too as I want to install either 14" or 16" on my FXDC and can't make up my mind...Don't really wnt to extend my cables, but if I have to, I will.
