Handle Bar Replacement Help
I guys, I did a search but it didn't result with anything useful so I'll ask here. I want to replace 18 apes with a set of stock bars on my 12 SERG. Is there a good "how to" thread anyone can point me to. I'm pretty good with a wrench and can probably figure it out but I'd like a little info before I start. Thanks Tom

Should be pretty easy. The hardest part will be your cables. You will have to go back to stock length. You will probably have to pull your exhaust to get the clutch cover off. You will then have to remove that washer and the cable clutch holder to replace the cable. I don't know the name of it. The only other difficult thing is routing and adjusting throttle cables. Not too bad though.
As you go, just YouTube each portion but you should be able to do it, start to finish in about 4 hours pretty easily.

Search threads on installing apes and monkey bars. You will be doing the same thing. Stock for SE bars is internal wiring. Just whenever they say longer cables you will need shorter (stock) cables.
A 2012? Who put the apes on? I do think this is the first I've read about someone wanting to get ride of apes.
