'13 FXDWG - Handle bars and cables/wiring
OK, wanting to "explore" some options with handle bars / risers for my WG. Surely there are some out there that can speak from actual experience, and not "well I heard....". How far can I raise the bars without changing all the cables/wiring???? I'm not looking at going crazy, just thinking maybe dropping from the stock 5" risers to something like 2", and going with 8" or 10" apes (baby apes? that's a chimpanzee, right?! lol). Can I get some feedback from someone who has done this, or at least seen it done firsthand? Would also love to see some close up pics of bars and risers.

I had 2 inch riser spacers on my stock bars/risers and that seemed to be pretty close to the limit for the stock cables. However, the Clutch cable can be re-routed to the right side of the bike to get more slack. The internal wiring for the controls is plenty long enough.
