Default 10" Ape Hangers

Ok, looking to do some 10" ape hangers with maybe 2" risers. I know I'll need longer cable, but I've also read that vtx 1300 cables will be long enough.

Any help would be greatly appreciated on this, as my ape hanger research has melted my brain

First step: Purchased desired ape hangers
Second step: Install said ape hangers.
How much more help do you need.....?!?!
Just kidding, kinda... Motionpro make excellent cables in various colors(braided, black etc). If you stick with JUST 10" risers, your stock cables will probably work.

10" risers?

LOL...well I like the low ape hanger urban look like this: 8" Bourbon Apes Handlebars Ape Hangers - Black

and to be honest I don't want to bother with the cables....so that's why I was wondering if 8" or 10" with 1 or 2" risers would work with factory cables.

bump cuz I wanna do either these ones: 10" Bourbon Apes Handlebars Ape Hangers - Black

or these ones: 8" Bourbon Apes Handlebars Ape Hangers - Black

just depends on the cable situation...with the 8" would I be ok with stock cables? and with the 10 any idea what my plus number would be for cables?

You know what I was saying, but 10" risers would be funny.
I have 10" apes on mine and my cables are stock. If you go 8" you will most certainly be able to use stock cables.
