Default Crossbones bars question
Hey guys, I tried to search, but no luck. I also measured but not sure if it was correct either. What is the height of the stock Crossbones bars?

10" I just ran into this same problem, 12" includes the risers. I just put on 16" apes and ordering +6 cables worked perfect.

Logic would sate that. I would get +6 just to be safe.
