- First of all, I'm sorry I didn't get more of the wiring and the control or grip install. It was a frustrating long process to learn how to run the wires correctly. I used tie wire and electrical tape to run all the wires. It is a lot to run them through the risers I got, don't get discouraged they will fit.
I got 11 inch Forbidden Motorcycle risers with the heads up display (HUD) in the bar clamp. The bars are also Forbidden Motorcycle but are made by Fly MX.
With 11 inch risers and 3 inch rise on the bars, the brake line is noticeably tighter, but the only cable or control that needed a extension was the HUD. I got mine from Guerrilla Cables.
I used Lucky Dave's Bushings, upgrading the bushings is critical for stiffness on taller bars.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if you have any questions ask. I feel like there is a lot I learned that didn't make the video.

Just wanted to say thank you, I did my moto bars and riser setup last night using this video. So helpful!
@@tylerdzugan9596 thanks man I'm glad it help you out! Ride safe!
Nicely done. I’ll definitely reference this video when I do my bars.
Looks very nice I plan on ordering some lucky Dave's t bars once they get back in stock. Subscribed forsure. Thumbs up
I was gonna do my bars next week. Great video, but I think I'm just gonna find a local shop to do it for me lol. Hopefully they'll be cheaper than a Harley dealership
Haha, yeah it is a pain in the butt depinning the connections. Hopefully you find a good price somewhere!
At 9:15 did you just unscrew those riser bolts with vice grips from the oem setup?
Yeah, they are the OEM bolts. And yeah I believe I used the tip of the vise grip to get ahold of the smooth part of the bolt so I didn't mess the threads up. When you put them back into your riser set up you don't have to torque them, just a little past snug, the nuts should hold them in place. Hope this helped
Your bars measure out to 14 inch did you have to buy any extensions?
The only extension I had to buy was for the hud since it was at the top of the riser. All the cables and switches were long enough. If you do a different riser you can place the hud somewhere where you won't need a extension, but it all depends on your set up
Where did you get the bolts that you used for the bottom of the risers were those from the bike or did you order those separately?
Yeah that's the original hardware from the old bar mount. If you're using new bushings it's kinda difficult to get them started cuz the bushings are thick, but it'll work!
Nice video, thanks for the tutorial. I'm debating between the 9- and 11-inch HUD. I'm curious about the gauge display? Do you get a clear and perfect view of the gauge display while riding? Or is it hard to see the gauge display info? Thanks!
I'm 6'3 an I have a decent view of it. The only time I have trouble is with the glare of the sun, but I guess that's with anything glassy. Thanks for watching!
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 thank you for replying and for your honest feedback.
Absolutely, I did these videos to help out, not to make money. I haven't made a dime but I'm happy to help people like me that need a little help!
Might be a stupid question but I have ape hangers that I want to adjust them forward a bit to extend my arm a bit do I need to just loosen up the four bolts on the clamps? To re tight them back do I need to put locktite?
No stupid questions here man, this page is all for help! Before I swapped my bars I did the same thing. You don't need to take the clamp bolts out just loosen enough to move the bars then re tighten. You'll be able to tell if the bolts back out because your bars will get loose. If they back out you can locktite but I wouldn't worry about it for a small adjustment like that 🤘
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 Thanks a million brother.
hello, thanks for the tutorial.
once the cables are connected, the gauge no longer works I can’t start my motorcycle. would you know why?
thank you
Without looking at it I couldn't be for sure. Double check your battery connections, check the fuse box, make sure all the connections are secure and wires are in the plugs properly. I'd be leaning towards a fuse without knowing. And I hate to bring it up, but there is a chance the wires got pinched and are shorting out on the risers or bars. But double check the connection and make sure everything is in the right spot. Double check the battery has voltage too. Let me know if you do all that I can do some more digging and try to figure it out with you
Man is there anyway you can send me a pic of the tbw plug coming out of the frame? I’m doing internal wiring on my 16in apes and the guy before me just cut the plugs and soldered them together for some reason and I’ve ordered connectors to fix this but can’t find anything on which wire goes in what slot of the connector of the frame TBW connector
Geez man, that blows. Some people should not try to do stuff themselves. Send me a message on Instagram and when I get home I can send you some pictures. Insta is @kmvaders I'll look for a picture online too if I can find one.
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 I sent you a request rp_6538
I have a 2020 soft tail standard and want risers but Harley Davidson can't even tell me if it can be done.....any ideas?
Anything can be done for sure. Id just shop around and maybe call some companies directly and ask. Don't go Harley parts go aftermarket for sure
Don't know if you'll respond but i was just wondering how comfortable those bars are, referring to their 32 inch width. I was also looking at a similar bar with a 32in width. Your arms aren't too wide?
I noticed a big difference right away. The bars felt really good, and the handling was way better than oem. I'm 6'3 and I race motocross so the bars feel great. Im not near my bike right now so I can't confirm they're 32" wide, but if you looked up those exact bars (forbidden moto fly moto bars I think) they are probably whatever you've researched. Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 ayyy lmao thanks for the reply! I never raced motocross but i did ride dirt bikes in the woods/trails. Yeah the bars i was looking at were made by ODI which are the same width as FM fly moto bars, might be pairing those bars with original garage moto 8.5" pullback risers. I'm only 5'6 so yeah lol just didn't know how 32" wide bars would feel, I guess being much shorter than you might come in to play. Was also looking at lucky daves riser bars which are 29" wide soo yeah
@@SooHighFashion anything is a upgrade from the garbage mini apes. But I don't think they're too long. It really comes down to personal preference
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 oh yeah I bet lol getting real tired of these dad bike handle bars lmao the riser/bar setup I was looking at was for a women who is like 5'3 and I'm 5'6 so I'm guessing the bar width at that crazy
I need help. On 13:06 there’s a black and white wire together coming from the throttle control. Idk wtf it connects to. I’m at a loss. Is this an optional connection wire?
Yeah there's one connection in there it's a long skinny pig tail and it's a accessory I believe it's for this cruise control but I'm not 100% there is one set of wires that doesn't plug into anything
2 years later, but that connect is for heated grips in case your still wondering lol
Did you use the factory riser bolts or new bolts? Also did you have to depin? I have people telling me I’ll have to depin wires and others telling me I don’t have to. For reference, I went with Thrashin risers and bars. Maybe there’s something about Thrashin that allows people not to depin?
Yes I used factory bolts, it was hard with the new bushing to get them in there but over time the lucky Dave's bushings smashed down, you'll have to retighted over time.
And yes you have to de pin and re pin. I reference a good video by someone else In this video. It's a pain
Look in my description of this video, it has a link I used to depin and repin my connections, good luck!
When I reinstalled and plugged my wires in, I had a female left that is black and white. The others were all male. Can’t figure out where this one plugs into. Any advice?
Is it a longer black female plug, with black and white wires coming from it? If it is that's an auxiliary plug for add ons (I asked Harley and that's what they said). I was in the same boat haha, hope your happy with your bars and this video helped!
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 Yep that's the one! Haha. Appreciate it. Definitely got me to install myself. I had to extend my wires with the risers I chose, but all in all, it worked out. Thanks for the reply!
What did u mean when u say use a sharpie to mark the plugs? Can u elaborate ?🙏🙏
No problem, I just makered them in a way that I could remember where they went. Take lots of pictures!!
I’m doing my bars next week - I ordered 12 inch pull back risers with moto bars that have a 2.5 inch rise so about a total of 14 inch lift. I did order a full cable extension kit for the throttle wire, ABS brake cable, turn signals and HUD. I know I’ll definitely need to use the HUD wire extension, but do you think I could get away with the stock lengths on the rest of the wiring? Or should I just use all the extensions that I got? Just don’t know how confident I am at extending the brake line and throttle cable myself. Any tips?
It all depends on your exact setup. What brand risers and bars did you get?
I think you'll be fine not doing your brake line, and the throttle wire extension shouldn't be hard that's a easy system. My blinkers are maxed out with the 11inch rise and moto bars, so depending on your exact setup you will probably need the wire extension just by a little bit. Having too much wire is better than being short, but you can always run the old ones before you open the new packages to see how long it sticks out, I'd recommend the throttle side blinker as a test run. Best hint is be paitant and don't take short cuts. Taking the wire ends off is a pain but it's the only way with this style of riser.
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 thanks for the tips! I got a Dominator Industries 12 inch pull back risers, and moto bars. They did send the whole cable extension kit as well so I may as well just do all the extensions? It’s all plug and play anyways. The clutch cable doesn’t seem too bad
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 also if you have any tips on hooking up the extended ABS brake line, that would be awesome. The kit has the extension for the upper clutch cable extension and ABS brake line extension. I’m mechanically inclined, but just can’t find too many tips on going about it
@@kjsarro1352 honestly man you're probably good without doin the brake. You can if you want for extra, but I didn't do the brake line and there's plenty of slack.
If you wanna do it cuz you have it I've only done dirt bike brake lines and the biggest pain is bleeding them. I wish I could help ya more with that. I wouldn't think it'd be too hard, I'll try to find something for you right now.
Did you mention how tall you are? :) cause I will change my bar setup soon and wonder what riser and bar height i should go with.. how many inches is the bar wide and how much pullback roughly?
I'm 6'4, the set up in my video is 12" riser and there's room for roll back adjustment. They make shorter risers and bars with different bend.
What length of wire did you get from Guerrilla Cables for the HUD?
If I can remember right it was the longest of 3 sizes they offered. I think 21inch. With this set up it was barely enough.
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 thanks for the quick reply
Hi there. Could i ask you. Where did u get your gas cap on tank. Regards. Tom.
I got it from brass balls cycles, unfortunately they are no longer in business. It's a pretty cool idea though, I set a military challenge coin in it
Thank you for your reply. I knew it was different and unusual. Have a streetbob myself. The gas cap caught my attention. We'll done to you. Best wishes from Ireland and keep up the good work.
What size risers would work ,without having to get wire extensions?
From my research I found that 11 inch risers were about max for all the cables. The HUD needed and extension because it's at the top of my risers. Depends on your set up. Sorry my response is so late. Hope this video helped.
So I d like to go with a 9” riser. I have a 6” now with straight bars from the dealer. Can remember if they are 1” or bigger? Or should I go 11”?
love those grips man. What are they?
I got these from speed dealer customs. It's a small business in the Midwest!
one more question for ya boss. I just ordered 14' lucky daves san Diego t bars. their customer service said I should be able to stretch my stock cables but I'm skeptical. For this install I see you tagged guerilla cables. did you order the "2016-2020 Ultimate CAN-Bus w/ Throttle-by-Wire" and are these long enough to higher bars?
Oh man I'm sorry, I just saw this comment, the info I found is that the cables stretched except for the HUD. My HUD is at the top of the risers so it really depends on where that's installed and what your set up is. My risers were 11inch with about a 3 inch bar rise and the cables we're about maxed. HUD at the top of the risers was not gonna fit
Hey man great video How did you get rid of the check engine light I forgot to unplug my battery too and the check engine light came on 😭😭😭
Haha I did the same thing
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 what was the code number that you got?
Check out about 6 comments down, another guy had the same issue. I explained it and attached a video to walk ya through it. Let me know if you can't find it I'll copy and paste it to your comment
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 thanks man i just got it it was super easy to clear
Awesome, yeah it's not too hard. I threw like 3 codes but I don't remember the exact ones
Did u get a 7/8 bar or a 1" bar? And if 1 any issues with stock equipment going onto it?
I wanted to do 7/8 but the clamp and bar is 1". The fly bars are specifically made for this riser system. Be biggest reason 7/8 will not work is I couldn't find a throttle by wire system that worked. The fly bars have all the cut outs for the throttle by wire. No issues with stock equipment going back on. I think if you ran 7/8 it would be hard to fit all the wiring down them.
You were able to run 14 in rise with stock brake and clutch lines?
Yeah Its a 12" riser and the bar has a few inch bend. That is basically max for the OEM cables. But it works perfectly with this set up. The wiring is also long enough. I had to get a HUD wire for the top mount display though
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 thanks man. Im going 14 in straight t bars next weekend, gauge will be at the bottom though so should be good
@@davidwalker3621 awesome! Good luck and have fun!
I love you golden headlight. How do you plate the headlight?
I'm sorry I'm so late getting back to you. I actually bought it off a small business I found on eBay. I'll look for it and try to let you know!
It's Mr Luckys. His ebay name is Mrluckysmotorcycleparts. He's also on amazon.
Hey what size was the harness you ordered from Gorilla cables I orders the 19 inc one think I got the wrong one for that set up
I think I got the 21". I'm not 100% though. The riser is 12+the distance from the riser to the control+ extra to tie into the connection at the bottom. I'm sure if you need to exchange, they will help you out. They were awesome when I felt with them
Hey I got a question, so my bars and risers are torqued down and as little as getting on the bike and bringing the wheel straight tweaks the bars out of alignment, did I do something wrong?
Did you replace the bushing or use the OEM ones? The rubber gaskets that the bolts run through
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 yes I did with lucky Dave's. I actually torqued the risers bolts to like 100 ft lbs and the bars still wiggle
Hmm I did the same, mine were loose at first and then I went back and wrenched em down a couple weeks later and they were good. They move very very little now, but not with normal riding. I didn't use a torque wrench I just cranked em down. I noticed too that this lucky Dave's squish ALOT, so maybe it just needs a little more
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 yeah the lock tite would be dry at that point though
Hi.
a total height of 14 inches without changing the brake and clutch cables?
Yeah the only thing that I had to get an extension for was the HUD. If you go any taller than what I did in this video you'll need longer wiring and cables. I think the stock apes that come on the bike are 12 inches
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 perfect. a thousand thanks
SO your total height for your bar and riser setup is 14inches?? and only needed the gauge extension?
Yeah that's an approximate height. The only reason I needed a gauge extension is because the HUD was integrated with the bar clamp at the top of the risers. Some mount below and you don't need an extension for that. My wires are pretty much at max right now so anything taller definitely need an extension kit. If you look at the stock mini apes they actually need alot of wire to run the 8inch ris and how far out the bars go.
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 I went with dominator industries 12in risers with a 1inch pullback and I ended up going with the same bars as you but those bars have a 1 1/8 clamp area so they ended up not working with the risers I go so I have to get thrashin supply bars I think
@@lyleellis5432 yeah that's the draw back to the FM set up I went with they get a little bigger than 1". I bet it'll look good when you get it together though!
I’m having trouble getting my rubber guard to cover the wire harness any tips on getting it back into position
The guard that is under the gas tank? No trick, just rework it till it goes back. It's a bitch, haha. Sorry I can't be more helpful
How long did this take you?
Longer than I thought. About 4-5 hours, but I was figuring it out as I went. The hardest park is discounting the wire plugs and re attaching in the same order. Mark your wires and take reference photos. Also don't forget to disconnect your battery, otherwise you'll get codes. Easy to clear the code but it's better just to prevent it. If I had to do it again I'd be able to do it in 2 hours probably
Hey man, can you post link for HUD wire extension?? Please

Hell ya man, here ya go!

I think I did the 22", but I wouldn't hesitate to do 25". It's easier to have more than less!
I am about to De-pin my throttle by wire. there are two wires of each color. how do I know how to re-pin them at the end of the day?
I'm sorry I'm confused by your question. What do you mean by the end of the day
Hey so I never detached my battery when I unplugged my bike. I had no idea I was supposed to do that. Now the bike won't fire back. Can you help me clear some codes?
Double check all your connections, especially the start button. It's easy to get them mixed up. Also here's the video link for clearing codes. There are other comments with the same problem if you scroll through. Hope this helps.

@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 Thanks dude I appreciate the help im gonna give these a try
I ordered 8 inch risers. Do you know if I would have to order a longer wire harness for the gauge or could I use the stock wires
Where is the gauge on the risers? On top?
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 ya they will be in top.
@@kylebriones8498 okay then I would get an extended one. The oem hardly goes above the bar claps. I ordered one from gorilla cables out of southern California
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 cool thanks for the reply
What size of allan key did you use for the riser clamps?
For the bar clamp, I believe it was 1/4"
If it was metric it was a 7mm, but I think it was a 1/4
Are those standard 3.5" center spacing on those risers?
They're independent, so I'm not 100%. What bike are you putting them on?
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 I'm actually thinking about buying a digital gauge and risers from an FXBB to put on my FLHCS Heritage (I miss the digital speedo and the higher location). I used to have an FXBB before, and I know the offsets for the riser clamp bolts are non standard, but I don't know if there's anything else weird about the Street Bob risers.
By those risers, I meant the stock ones. Sorry about the confusion.
@@live2ride9696 no worries, I just went out and measured and yeah they are 3 1/2"
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 awesome. Thanks so much. BTW, dig the bike. I love my Heritage, but still miss my Street Bob sometimes.
I got a check engine also. I forgot to disconnect the battery. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
Hold the cycle button down turn the bike on and let it go through its cycle. Release and diag should display. Press the cycle button and it'll bring up the different sections for codes. If it has a N then there's no code. Press the cycle button to go to the next screen until you find a Y. Press and hold and it'll display to clear. I'll try to find a video for you. It's kind of hard to explain but once you do it it's pretty easy

@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 I will try this when I get home from work. Thanks for the quick reply.
Got a link to the each part you bought?
I don't sorry, is there something specific or just like the whole set up. I can list it out for you.
@@harleyhelphintsfxbb3684 I liked the whole set you, and that’d be awesome, just everything you used on the video
How long is your gauge cable?
I think I bought the 22 inch cable that's 6 inches over stock. Just cuz the HUD is at the top of the risers. Depends on your set up though. Sorry this comment is so late hope everything worked out
How tall are the stock bars?
Don't quote me but I think Harley says they are 10"
Anybody know know the stock handle bar height and reach back on stock bars ?
If I remember right they were around 10" and around 3" back.
Whered you get your gas cap??
Brass balls cycles. They do a free points cover also that's pretty cool
threw a code didnt unplug batterys what do i do?
www.hdforums.com/forum/milwaukee-eight-m8/1231532-identifying-clearing-codes-on-2018-street-bob.html
Check this. I would clear all the codes then if for whatever reason they come back you have two options. Take all the wires back out and check to see if you pinched one, or two take it to Harley. I cleared my codes at Harley and they never came back. So I could of saved time and cleared them myself. Don't stress, more than likely there's nothing wrong
Never use a torque wrench to loosen 🤦♂️
Yeah bud that's not a torque wrench.... 🤦♂️.... It's and extendable socket wrench... But thanks for the advice!!
