Default crossbones rsd vintage bars??

I would like to do a set of rsd vintage bars and risers, but I am on a budget and need to keep the stock cables and wires. Does anyone know what size bars and risers i can use?

IMO the chubby's are best looking for those bikes, I have Road6 (cheapo knock-off RSD) and I must admit that I would go with Chubby's next time after seeing Story and other's bikes.
Although he calls them 'Vintage' they do look a bit 'newish'!.

The Vintage apes are 12", I think your stock Cross bones apes are 10". It should work okay with stock cables but i don't know for sure. there must be someone here who has done it. Worst comes to worst you can get a Burly cable kit for $189.

I would wait until you can afford to do cables and such also. If you go from 10.5" bars to 12" you are going to wish you had gone taller later....just sayin.

these are 14"

Well went with the 12 inch rsd vintage bars and the 1.5 rsd risers to take care of any cable or wire issues and got the v-twin riser stud mounts for the rsd risers.
