Bite the bullet and do the brake cable if that's what it takes to get the bars that fit best. I don't like bleeding brakes, but I do it when necessary. Indian has 8 & 10" as far as I know and aftermarket has taller. I have 10" apes with 3.5" moto risers. I'm 6' 1" and they're just right.

 

I am 5'8 I dont have the skills and time right now to add that cable so looks like 8inch is the only option

 

Look up FMB choppers. I got a set of bars custom made with 8” rise. This was in 2019 when the Indian bobber Matt finish bikes were first coming around. There were earlier models but in 2019 things got simpler with extended break lines. In that year model they put a fitting up under the left side of the tank. It eliminates extended lines on 8” bars. Best of luck, Matt Bars on a Matt finished bike look way better then gloss bars. Not sure what you have.

 

You can go up to 10” with no problem without worrying about the brake line, probably 12”. I put 10” Mercenary bars from FMB choppers on my 23’ abs bobber. Lotta pullback, looks good and will have you upright.

 

Oh I had passed on it because its description said I need 2 inch extra on the brake and clutch line. I have indian scout bobber black smoke version 2023

 

Plenty of brake cable, all I did was get a new clutch cable

 

ok I will call them tomorrow, I will take your words and I order it from FMS choppers 10inch on my IBS model, BTW did you reroute the brake cable, would really appreciate if you can just take a close up photos of the brake cable alighment that will be helpful in case I get lost routing

 

No need to re-route the brake cable, just take the brake off as normal when changing bars, try to make sure you set it somehow so that its somewhat level and doesn't leak, don't let it just dangle. Pop it back on once new bars are on. If it's your first time changing bars (it was mine as well) there are a ton of YouTube vids you can google to give you a good idea of what you're doing.

 

ok thanks, I placed an order today
