Hey all, first time posting! Got my first cruiser after making the switch from multiple street bikes... never been happier!!
So here's my question, I've been searching and haven't really found a solid answer. I bought my '06 Street Bob with 4" risers and I'm guessing the stock apes. I want to take off the risers and run some 16" apes. I don't want to run a riser at all and would much rather have all bars instead.

Thanks guys, I just pulled up those shorty risers. I ran home to peek at my current setup and realized I would need a lower riser. I am gonna order those black shorty's on ebay today. Thanks for the help! Much MUCH happier on a Harley.
Or you could swap your top
clamp with someone who has integrated risers like the newer bobs. I've got one I'd trade you.
I was going to say that, seems like everyone that has that top clamp wants to get rid of it so you can probably get one at no cost - take him up on the offer.
So now I'm thinking I'm about to run into another problem, Ordered 16" apes. Have Shorty 1" risers. Didn't think about the cable situation, I have 4" risers and 10" mini apes, plenty of slack and play on my cables.. will going 16" screw me over and will I need a whole new cable kit?
