18 inch apes? Edit : riser question 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
Ok as most know I have 14 inch bagger apes on my bike, if I can find them a home I'd like to do 18s on my bike since it's no longer a bagger. Question is how long do I need my cables and would anyone want to buy a set of Paul Yaffe classic bagger apes?

So no one with a bagger would like bagger bars?

I think 14 is a little higher than I would like. Best of luck with the sale.

I'm running 16" Kong Bars, which actually measure 17". I have +10 on the cables and there's some slack that would be sufficient for 18's

How long do the cables need to be for the 14? I have stock bars with 3 inch risers currently.

So I'm thinking about just getting risers for my 14s but dont know if the risers would look right with bagger bars, heres what I've found and would give me about an inch more rise but I cant find non pull back anywhere.
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/301791390032

I'm with BigFlip... I run Carlini 16" cables which actually measure 17".... I have +10 and wish I went a little shorter. +10 should fit 18" bars...

Holy crap! Just went to see how much it would cost to ship to texas and it's almost as much as I'm asking for the bars
