What is the tallest apes with +6 cables?
I am going to powerdercoat my bars black and add chrome controls. I am considering going with a taller set, however I don't want to change cables. Mine are less than a year old. What is the tallest I can go with +6 cables? I currently have 12.5s. I'm thinking maybe 14 or 14.5? I will have the bars custom made. I little more radical style than the traditional ones I have.

I have +6 cables on my 12.5 W502's...I think 14" - 14.5" is about all I could get with my cables...I know I couldn't get 16's on. If your looking at a more radical style or something that is just different look at the gimp hangers.

Those flyin apes are definately under consideration, those are pimp.
I like the gimps too, but I want at least 1 1/4", preferably 1 1/2" diameter.
I am considering the "Bent Ape Beaters" from www.brcustomcycles.com.
The will make them in any either 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 diameter and any rise, pullback, etc. that you want. The price is $200.00 for a set of 1 1/2 inch 16s. I will have them powdercoated black before install.

I went with those ape beaters (black). Good luck. That s.o.b. took forever to get me those. He said it would take 3 weeks to arrive. It was more like 6 weeks. plus i was supposed to get 14" but when I measure them they are closer to 12.5".
