Has anyone put the Kraus 10" risers, the raptor plate and Mx bars on their bike Road Glide? It equals about 14.5" and want to know if I'm going to have to lengthen the cables??? I've got a 16' Road Glide and getting ready to spend some money.

stock cables are good to 14in. You really need that 1/2 in? Lol

LOL! no I don't need the 1/2 inch, but she might. LOL!
It just works out that way. the risers are 10", the raptor plate is 2" and the bars I'm considering are 2 1/2" high.
Unless I could find a 3" bar, I'd drop down to an 8" riser, that would put the total height at 13"

13 is a good height. I run a kraus setup with no pullback plate 6in pullback risers with 5.5 in bars and gauge mount it’s the perfect height for no strain on my shoulders

Looks good. What year is your bike? Where you able to keep the stock ignition/acc switch in it's original place or did you have to relocate it?

It’s a Rushmore rg. I kept the ignition along with the nacelle.

I put the T-Rex plate on with the 12" Kickback risers and the FM bars they offer, used stock brake and clutch lines. Probably could have used the stock wires if I ran them from the bar to the whole in the top of the neck without any problems. I went with complete longer wires due to the way I wanted to run them.

Also should note that my total rise based on the numbers is 15.5" (12" riser, 1" T-Rex Plate and 2.5" FM Bars), but it in no way feels as high as a set of 14" apes on a RG. Originally I didn't have the T-Rex plate and when I added it, the bare didn't go up any do to the angled drop caused by the rake of the trees.

The black bike in mine, the red one is same setup but with 10" riser.
