Default Need help with apes

Seriously considering going ape on my '12 RGC, right now I have the Heritage bars and Reach seat but I'm still getting a lot of pain in the upper/middle back after a while of riding.

Thinking on going either 12"/13", max. 14".

If I go with the 14" will I have to change the clutch cable and brake line? Dread having to remove the pipes for the clutch cable change.
The bike is a 2012 Road Glide Custom.

Any input and/or suggestions on bars will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You could put a set of 10" Monkey Bars on and get away with your stock lines. Anything more and you'll have to extend wires ect.. Take a look at all the information on this forum about apes. There's a new one everyday.
