Default Need help with my 18" chubbys!

So I'm making the purchase tomorrow, and a buddy already got me the stainless steel cables. I know there are bushing and risers to worry about and maybe more? Can you guys help me out with what I need in total when putting on these bars? Sizes?

I just got 16 inch chubbys. Make sure to replace the bushings in the risers with polyurethane bushings. You can get em online for 25$ (dealer charges 40). I also replaced my 4" pullback risers with 1 1/4" risers. Just make sure the clamp size is the same as the diameter of the bars. Since you got cables and wires, you should be good to go

You should be good to go. The only thing I would advice is that you go with metal bushings for the risers instead of rubber ones. I forget the exact reason why but that's what a lot of guys here recommended to me when I switched to apes a hundred years ago.
