Swap to 10" mini Apes not going good
Read on lind the guys that used the 10" Todds cycles bars did not have and issue with changing cables with on 10" bars. Sttobk csble length was fine
Best i can tell clutch and brake line are two tight. hand controls will not reach the bar mount. Figure there is some basid step i sn missing but cant tell.

I wouldn't have enough stock cable for mini apes. I could probably get away with a 2 to 3 inch riser spacers. I'm currently running 1.75 risers with the stock setup. Mini apes, I doubt anyone has done that. ( can only speak for a breakout )

Its a 2014. I purposely got the 10" because i read the 10" did not need new cable or wires. Now that i need new cables i woul have preferred the 10". Now i will have to remove the exhaust to get to the clutch.
Oh well.

Send the 10" bars back and get the ones you want then.

I know for a fact that a narrow 10" bar and stock height risers work on a Slim or Fatboy with only a brake line change. Have done this mod using 10" Todd's strip bars at least four times. You usually have to reroute them a bit

Your facts seem true. 🤗 I got the clutch side on okay. Appears rest of electric, throttle and idle will make it to. Hope so, brake line no. Looks like i need ablout 4" to be safe. Going to order a Drag Spec. It will look stock.
So happy i do not have to drop the exhaust. Woo hoo .
Its wierd but people i know that have a bike will say the mini Apes look pretty cool.
Friends i have that do not own or ride will say they like the stock bars. ...hmm😏
