Default Apes on EG Ultra

What are the tallest bars you can use on an 11 EG Ultra without having to change out cables/wiring/TBW?

With the Cyclesmith 13's is the wiring long enough just requiring longer cables?

Do not have any objections to changing cables, but how difficult is it to change out bars with TBW, never messed with this before.

Pics would be cool if you got them.


Thanks
Joe

I had 13" Cyclesmith on my 05 EGC. Did not have to extend the wires, but used +6 on cables and brake line. My 2010 EGC, I have 16" and used +9 and had to extend the wires. Pulling the wire thru is a struggle. But with a jar of vasoline it can be done. Its kinda like pulling 2 pounds of wire thru a 1 pound hole.

Hey glide2005,

Are those 50's (not sure what yr) chevy lights in your avatar? Do you have some more or better pictures of them?

Sorry for the temp highjack.

I have 12" MBB and changed cables and extended wires.
