Before moving to the 14" on 2.5" risers for Reaper (also a 2005 Night Train), I had a set of Harley 10" mini apes with 1.5" risers from a similar year Wide Glide. I was able to use the stock wiring harness with that setup. At the same time I went to SS braided cables and brake line and I ordered longer cables/line, but I do believe the stock ones would have worked. I don't think I could have gone any taller without extending the cables/brake line and wiring harness.

These pics are from 2005/2006.







Cheers!

I put the 10" todds cycles bars with a 2" riser and had to extend the wires on one side only. I replaced the cables anyway so Im not sure on stock cable length. Guessing will be close with a 10" and the riser is gonna make all the difference.
