Default Custom 15in apes

does anyone have pics of a custom with 15in apes? if you do did you replace cables? can you use the stock cables? is it a big difference between 12in and 15in? or would it work if i got the 12in and went with risers would that make it a 15? bc im tossing between going with 12in or 15in rsd vintage. help me out i need some input thanks.

can you use the stock cables? Yes you can. On a different bike, or with a lower bar, but not with 15 inch bars.
is it a big difference between 12in and 15in? Just a guess: I'd say the difference is 3 inches.
or would it work if i got the 12in and went with risers would that make it a 15? If you get 3 inch risers, then I'd say 12+3= 15. Maybe it's just me.bc im tossing between going with 12in or 15in rsd vintage. help me out i need some input thanks Because you think your cables really care how you get to the 15 inches? It stays 15 either way.
There's your input. You skipped math in high school, right?

This is my first time doing this so there's no need for the sarcasm frenchie. And yes it's only 3 inches, to some people its a significant difference. Changing out the handlebar is all new for me. I didn't know risers came is different sizes, but thanks for your great input frenchie. It helped me a lot what would I ever do without it. Thank you jesus
