Installing Todds Cycle 12" ape hangers - what all do a need ?



I have the 12" Flat Black 0601-1468 which has the raised section between the clamping area and not sure that the riser with the top wide clamp, such as in the above picture, will work - I was looking at these on eBay.

What height risers would suit this installation ?




Also, what cable kit do you recommend (wire extenders, clutch, throttle, brake,......)

Riser height depends on taste, I think over 2" looks stupid. You can get a complete cable kit from lachoppers.com, search for your bike and bar height. You can get electric extensions from NAMZ, probably a 4" extension kit would be fine. That is all you need; bars, cables, electric extensions. Good luck.

I agree on the risers, and will will not use anything over 2", and now just need to find out if I can use the bridge type top clamp, or get the type with separate top clamps.

Thanks for the links on where to find the remainder of the goods.

Your top clamp isn't gonna work. Your bars would have to be 1" all across the center section. I think you will need the 2 piece style.

I'm not sure how much research you've put into picking your bar height but I was talked into going higher than I wanted and I'm really glad I did.

Look at the knuckle risers on Todds website. Looks like you'll need something like that.
