Hey all, my name is Tim and I am buying a 2007 FXDB.. from upstate NY.. I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the 12" burly narrow glide apes on a street bob. I found 14" and 16" but no 12".. anyone??? I would love the 14's but I don't want to change cables!

 

Welcome to the forum. I can't help with a pic but I am from upstate NY (finger lake region).

 

ah, I live down near Amsterdam.. bout 45 mins from Albany

 

In most cases the stock cables will work on 14" bars. I have 12"s with 2" risers and all I had to do was reroute the clutch cable.

 

hmm I would definitely go with 14's if it would work, but I've read you have to bed the angle on the throttle/idle cables, and the brake line..

 

I have the stock 10s on 2" risers and there seems to be plenty of slack left in the wiring and the cables........ I'm pretty sure the 14s would be a straight swap without the need to change anything (other than maybe rerouting)

 

13.5" bars on mine and we had to bend the throttle/idle cables down and bend the brake line. The clutch cable barely fit while the wiring was plenty long enough.
The brake cable will be replaced soon due to looks mostly. The throttle and idle cables could stand to be replaced with an inch or two longer ones but screw it, they work fine so I'm spending my money on something else.

 

go bigger, or regret it later.

 

I went with the 12's just to be safe.. I'll post some photos as soon as I get them on!
