Gimp Hangers for Street Bob

Does anyone know if you need to change out any of the lines or cables if you bolt a set of 14" Gimp Hangers onto stock risers on a Street Bob?

I went 6" os with my 14" Gimps, but the clutch cable I don't think needed to be quite that long. Also, lengthened the wiring, but I ran them internally.

You'll also have to change out your brake line.

For sure you will need longer cables if you are goin with 14" apes on your bob , I added 13" and had to do all my cables +4 over stock. Had a hard time finding a Black clutch cable ( HD does not make +/4 or +6 in black ) so I had Barnette custom make it.( took Barnette only2 days to make/ship if you pay the extra $8.00for rush orders )

I'm going to be using the same setup. Just going with +6 on all my cables. Clutch, brake, idle and throttle cables. Hopefully that will give me enough lenght if I ever want to move up to 16's.
