Default common question

thanks for reading-

i have an 07 883L, my baby, i'm going to be installing some nash midget gimps (best looking bars imho) i want the 14" but i'd have to change all the cables and harness and brake line, i know with the 12" you dont have to change anything- just some rerouting/bending needed.

heres my question- does anyone here have the measurements? i've looked and can't find them. can i get the brake line and throttle/idle cables from a dyna street bob and make them work with 14" bars? did the cow really jump over the moon? any help would be grandly appreciated.

You'd be lucky to get 4 inch risers on without having to change anything.

you didn't mention the 7" risers tho in your pm! i don't think they'll reach but cables shouldn't be an issue if you're prepared to drop 225 on a set of bars. and you're right, THE baddest apes on the market!
