Default Risers on '14

I have a '14 Bob with mini apes and stock 1" risers. Anout how high can I go on the risers (total or additionally) without changing cabels and lines? Straight, not pullback.

Thnx

Your risers and bars have around 12" in total height, and they are pretty wide at around 31" with a good amount of pullback. Taking that all into consideration you can probably hit a good 15-16" with no cable or line changes if the bars you switch to aren't super wide. I'm sitting at 13" total between my bars and extensions (to the top of the cross bar) and still have slack because my bars are only around 28" wide and only have around 2.5" of pullback.

Ok, that was a terrific answer but a lot more technical than I was thinking. So, basically, if I'm staying with the stock bars and I just want to raise them up,....I could change my current risers 3" to 3 1/2" risers or 2" to 2 1/2" riser extensions to my existing...and I should be ok. (?)

With the stock bars you aren't going to be able to go as high because of how wide they are and how much pull back they have. You should still be able to get another 2-3" out of them, though.

I have a set of add on risers and bolts if your interested.. I forgot what brand they are but if you have the same style riser as the wide glider (2013) they will work.. I can't remember if its 2or 3 inches I think 3

One way to check, just take your riser clamps off and lift your bars up, have a look around, and see where you're wires are.
