I am changing my handlebars from the stock buckhorns and changing it 2 12in apes i talked my parts/bike guy and he told me and 8" for an extension for my wires but dont esns order something i dont need but also rather have little extra wire 2 tuck away somewhere then trying stretch them . Has anyone done this and give any advice this is my first time changing my bars.

 

This question has been answered quite a few times. I suggest using the search feature.

 

The buckhorns are usually tall already, and you can get away with 10" or 12" apes without having to extend the wires. I could fit 10" apes without new wires on my bike, and it only has 4" rise bars stock.

 

Yes i agree with Scuba,my 1997 had buckhorns and i put 10" apes on with 4' risers,but my wires are to what i would call the safe limit.
