What bars can I run with stock cables??
#11
Okay so I recently picked up an 07 road glide about a month ago, and I've been loving the bike. However I went for my first pretty long all day ride kinda thing with a couple stops in between. I'm 6'3" and by the end of the ride my shoulders and back were in pain, because my bars are so low and drawn back I'm assuming. Looking to get some taller bars, maybe some small apes, but don't really have the money to go all out right now with extended cables or anything. What bars can I run with my stock cables that will add some height for me? Anyone got any pictures of there aftermarket bars with stock cables?

If you are 6-3, it would be a ridiculous waste of money to buy bars based on not having to buy cables.
Do you want to be comfortable or do you prefer to be in pain every time you ride.
Buy the bars that are most comfortable and the cables that are required. You spent a ton of money on a bike, it's not that much more for cables. It would be silly to spend money on bars and still be in pain.

I'd go at least 14s. I'm 5' 9" and have 12s on my road king with a seat that sits me a little lower than stock and my hands are a bit below my shoulders and very comfortable. At 6' 3" you might want to look at 16s. If you're going to swap cables anyway, why not just do it right? You may be happy with 14s, but are you still going to wonder if it's enough?
