- January 02, 2012, 17:54:42 PMWow, really?
I cant believe they would reach that far, if you were to rotate the bars into a verticle position do you think the cables would still reach?
And also how tall are you and where do 16" bars have your shoulders at, even with bars or your hands up/down from them....
I'm 5'10 and setting on the bike holding another set of bars it looks like 18's or 16's with the 2.5in risers would be just right for me holding my hands right above my shoulders

- December 19, 2011, 18:44:05 PMThats exactly what i needed to know...
my bike had 2.5in risers now so if i wanna go with 14in apes i would need +5 cables so might as well get +6

- December 19, 2011, 18:24:35 PMI believe the cables and hoses will handle a 12 inch... as I recall. I believe its tight and some re-routing is needed.
Here is info on the stock bars, cables etc.http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/reviewpost/showcat.php/cat/69

- December 18, 2011, 08:43:03 AMI'm looking to put apes on my 99 drifter 1500, the question is how long are the stock cables?
As in are they long enough for 12in apes or maybe 10 in apes....
I need to know somethign along the lines so i know how long of cables to order if i go with say 14-16in apes on the bike
