what cable lengths do i need for 16in apes? i seached didnt really find anything.

also im 5'10 are 16" apes going to be a big reach for me? I found a set of nash gimps on craigslist for 75 drilled and ready to go. Just want to make sure im buying something that works for me. never ridin with apes and havent found a bike to test ride with them.

thanks

 

 

I'm 5'-9", I ride with 16's. They are perfect for me. It also depends on what seat you have. Mine is the stock(very thin)seat, maybe 2" overall in thickness.

 

Burly makes a kit specifically for 16" apes on a sporty. Call the shop Monday and we can get one out to you. they are $189.

Im 5'7" and have 16" burley narrow glides with a lower C&C seat. my hands are just at or a little above shoulders. I like it that way and ride every day

 

I'm looking for apes as well. I'm in the process of buying a nightster and I'm a little concerned with finding the right height for me. I'm 6'1 so I was looking at 14 or 16 .

 

If you're going with the Burly Kit, I feel as if the clutch cable is a bit long. I put 12" bars on my bike with the Burly 12" kit and the clutch/idle are fine, the brake is a hair long and the clutch is pretty long. I've routed everything so it looks good, but I still feel they are a bit long in some areas.

 

 

I have the badlander seat. I think im just going to get 16s and hope for the best.

 

Ha.
I agree. I emailed Burly to get the actual length of the cables for a mock-up but they never got back to me.
