anybody running mini apes. can you use factory cables?

radco · 10-27-2010, 04:36 PM

Im not sure how short you can go to keep stock cables But 13" needs new cables
A few here are using the 1700 Nomad./Voyager bars w/stock cables..I may be going that route,, I assume in Apes maybe 10" as tops? Ill wait till I here all the answers :)

I've got 13" apes with the Phat 2 risers making probably a 16" with the stock risers. If I did it again, I'd drop to maybe 10 or 11".

so are you saying that i with a nomad 1500 could put a set of Voyager bars to get that ape hanger look without new cables?

No Medicalawg I have looked this up before all 1700,1600,1500 call for the same part number for the handlebar.

lawdog · 10-28-2010, 06:12 AM

I have a friend that has a heritage handlebar on his nomad and it looks good on the bike. I dont think he had to replace the cables. I will ask the next time I see him.

I've got stock bars and Phat II risers.
If I were to disconnect and reroute the hoses I might could use bars with a little more pullback.
My plan for this winter is to install bars with more pullback and install new hoses.
I think the stock bars are 14" pull back and 8" rise.
I've seen 16 1/2" / 8" advertised.
I'd like to sit comfortable with stock risers so I can install a fairing with radio.
If you make a change I'd like to hear about it.
I'm still planing and searching.

Rich I have 13" apes on mine and did not change any cables or lines just moved the front brake line behind the triple tree instead of in front of it.

so where did you get those?

radco · 10-28-2010, 04:27 PM

Jim I thought you used new cables? CRS strikes again :) So I should be safe with 10" apes... The 1700 bars are 125$ + 10" apes 75$ + or -
