Just a heads-up to the community for anyone looking to upgrade current handlebars. I had replaced the stock bars on my 2018 bobber w/abs with the Indian 10" mini apes. This involved having to swap out the clutch and brake lines with newer extended lines provided by Indian. It was a difficult project only for the fact that I do not have dainty little hands which were/is needed when installing the banjo bolts to the correct mechanism that is located in the belly of the beast (way under the battery box). Unfortunately, the 10" were still not a comfortable height for my riding preference and I'm currently replacing to 18" from Nash motorcycle products. Besides having to order custom brake & clutch lines from Barnett (which I still am waiting for a price quote) the other major hurdle is in the electrical wiring from the hand controls (Throttle unit on the right side, & Light unit on the left side). The issue is the factory wiring is not long enough. This was not a total surprise and figured I could sort it out and make it work. From my view, the factory wiring from controls down to the connectors (which is located in wiring bundle above headlight) has enough length to accommodate up to 14". I would even say maybe 16" but that might be pushing it and may increase the difficulty of making everything fit nicely. I just wanted to throw this information out to our great Indian community so anyone thinking of upgrading past 10" mini apes has a better understanding of the scope of the project.
