Helped me out loads
Very informative video! I ordered some 14” Apes for my Yamaha Warrior 1700 and this video helped. Thanks! Just subbed too
Hey did you only replace the brakeline or did you have to extend the wires also?
Id like to k ow the answer to this as well
How long was the new break cable for the 14?
Great video. Going to add 39 inch Beach Bars and you video is a great help.
I got it on Ebay. Just measure the distance first because not all handlebars are same shape and look for it there. It will come to you in few days...no hassle. I paid about $30 for it. Good luck.
Mine was I think 33 inches
Do it yourself Motorcycle repairs do you happen to have a link or part number for it? Thanks in advance.
Hey would you happend to have an where and what brand of handle bars you got ?
or maybe a link from web you got it from i like those bars for my v star 1100 thanks ...
They were on eBay used... don't know the brand...sorry. They are made for Harley Davidson , so I would just keep looking for Chubby handlebars until you find the shape you like...new ones are expensive...about $250...so used ones are way cheaper... I've had these powder coated gloss black...they where rusted when I got them...hope this helps...thanks for watching my video and please subscribe...it will help me out 🙂
Awesome vid mate
Very helpful

Hi ... question!! I got 14” apes...
I know I have to extend wires...
The clutch, brakes, and gas cables fit?? Or what I have to buy?... if you can help me with an answer.. I really appreciate that..
hi bud ,, when you say the 10 inches are no brainer , do you mean i can install a 10 inch with the original cables ?
That's a beautiful bike.
do i need extensions on 12’s?
How long was the new break cable?
Do I have to add any extensions if I run 8” apes or 10”s?
Where did you get the brake line and how much extension?
What gauge wire did you use?
How about the throttle brake and clutch cables? Did you have to replace those with longer ones. Prob a dumb question, but I'm really wanting to put ape hangers on my 2002 vstar 1100 but the line and cable kit is like$400
If you go with 12 inch apes you will be OK with the throttle and clutch cables...just have to re-rout them. Also the wiring for your switches is normally fine. You always have to replace the brake line, but that would only cost you about $50 plus the handlebars. If you want to do 16 inch apes you will most likely need to replace everything + extend all the switches wiring. Every bike is little different but I use the 12 inch mini apes a lot and love them on most bikes. You can get used OEM Harley ones online from Street Bob model or some newer Heritage Softail models have them. Thanks for your interest and please subscribe to help me out. Good luck!
@@DoityourselfMotorcyclerepairs thanks bro. I've seen allot of your videos I'm def subscribing!!
Dude did u even watch the video that's the whole premise Jesus your an idiot watch the video it answered your question the whole time even the damn description answered your question dumb as a box of hair
It says how to use your stock cables you simpleton can you even read
Dude you posted your business name with this f****** question and you're a repair company are you out of your f****** mind Who the f*** would hire you after reading this question you can't even read it says stock cables that means he did not replace them hes teaching you how to use them and upgrade the bar length dude dude I'm contacting your company I'm posting this comment on your company's page
What guage wire size did you use?
Do it yourself motorcycle repairs i know you've probably already answered this but I have an 03 roadstar silverato with factory bars I would like to take it to 14 or 16 inches i know ill have to buy a brake cable and extend my wires but can it go to the length needed with all other factory cables. Also if I need to buy brake cable how do I find the length?
You don't need a brake cable, you will need a longer brake line, fluid line. I replaced my factory brake line with a 8+ one, then ran all the other cables behind the triple tree, instead of in front of it. You can do this with up to 16" apes on factory risers. You will have to extend the wiring like this video explains.
On facebook there is a group called Road Star Clinic, has all the information you could ever want about your Road Star there. There are also members that fabricate parts for the Road Stars, its a great group. This video is great to give a visual to the process, one step at a time.
If you need an 8+ brake line, talk to Raymond Chan, he's a member there. He made my brake line and made them for many other members. Top notch...

@@terryreinhart9400 I actually joined the road star page and got my cable from Chan lol I got my apes on last night. Thank you though
I have a 2007 Yamaha roadstar midnight silverado 1700 I am putting 14 inch bars on mine I'm trying to figure out if I only need to replace the break line and if so Do you know of anywhere I can find it I have looked everywhere and it's only the full kit.
Hi Frank...thanks for your interest! I usually buy the brake lines on ebay. I have cut and pasted the link for you. Just measure the length you need … they are ready to go with the 10mm banjo fittings already attached. Good luck with your handlebars and please subscribe to help me out

I put 12" apes on my 02 silverado, i need a front brake line. Any idea what extra length i may need? Seems like my other cables will be fine. Any help would be appreciated! Nice bike btw! Thanks
The best way is to measure it and search eBay for the length you need. Stainless steel line will cost you about $40....thanks for your interest and please subscribe to help me out.
Whats the diameter of the silverado handlebar?
Im buying some 14 inch apes from a road glide so theyre 1-1/4 that go down to1 inch on the risers and controls but the 1 inch where the risers clamp is 5 inches would that be okay with the stock risers and clamp?
I don't have the RoadStar near to measure it...you should be able to tell if you measure your stock risers widest point. I am 90% sure it will fit because the handlebars in my video are made for Harley also...Thanks for watching and please subscribe it will help me out 😀
Where can i get the black forks and triple tree? Did you just paint them?
It's the original parts...took it all apart and got them powder coated
Where did you get the brake line
eBay...the ends are 10mm on both sides and measure the length...just enter motorcycle steel beaded brake line to search window and bunch of stuff will come up...select the length you want and the correct angles on the banjo fittings...for example straight on the handlebar side and 90 by the caliper...you just got to search for it...you decide what will looks the best for your application...thanks for your interest and please subscribe...it will help me out 🙂
Does anyone know if you have to run extensions for 10 inch mini ape hangers?!
No you don't need extensions for 10inch apes only for 14's & up
Where did you buy you apes? I have an 04 and looking for some 14” apes. Thanks
I usually get my handlebars used on a swap me that I go to every month but if I needed some right now I would go on eBay... Thank you for your interest in please subscribe to help me out 😊
What risers and bars are these?
If I remember correctly the risers are from Yamaha v Star 1100 and the handlebars are for Harley... aftermarket brand called Chubby
10" wire extencion?
When you do apes, take your rise and subtract 5 and that’s your extension
So 16” would be a +11 cable and line extension?
@@allanderfelt9090 thanks
I was asking lol
I was asking lol don’t do +11 unless someone confirms it
horrible speaking voice or you audio is bad
terrible video
