Default handlebar package Q

Hey guys im looking to swap out my gimps for a set of the hill country custom cycle 12" apes. Would i need to buy a wiring harness to trim my internal wiring down from 16" to 12" or would they just cut and splice the wires down to size? Also i stripped out the bottom end of my riser by tightening down on it too hard and will need to replace it, does anyone know if i can purchase just one riser from the stealer? thanks in advance

Risers are sold in pairs so finding just one might be a chore and as far as wires go you will more then likely want to re-splice down to size being its a springer or you might be able to hide the extra 4" in the bars and under tank if there is room.....

Get 2 risers on e-bay fer dirty cheap and have a spare for the next herculian tightening debaucle!!

Lots of room to fold and tuck that extra 4"...I wouldnt even consider cutting them down.

Nice move on the Hill Country mini apes. I dunno why but the gimps look a bit off on your classic looking scoot!

rather than buying new risers, you could have a heli-coil installed to repair the stripped one. don't ask how I know
