I ended up ordering longer brake lines for my 2003 Nomad 1500 from Galfer due to having to stretch the stock line to it's maximum. How does one get to the left side brake line bolt at the junction block? I have plenty of room to access the right side bolt but the chrome cover for the lower triple tree blocks access to the left side bolt. I've tried taking the cover loose but no luck.
Thanks, Hoppy |

That's the problem. I can't get the chrome cover off. I've taken the four bolts out of the cover, lifted the cover enough to unattach it from the two rubber "Well Nuts" and still can't get it off. I found a good schematic of it at

Hi - A number of posters have said 'not to go taller than 10" apes because even at 10", some cable/wire/hose were tight.' Were you able to install 12" apes without ANY need for cable/wire/hose extensions or modifications? Any thoughts on why some say don't go taller than 10" apes ? Thanks for your reply. P.S. I'm riding an 02 Nomad.

10" is as high as you could go with stock hoses and wires on your handlebars. I had bought a set of 12's, not enough slack in the hoses, throttle cables, and wiring. Anyway, if 10", you can rerun any tight lines, cables with the stock hoses. To me, doesn't make much sense to just rise another 2 inches for a set of extended hoses and cables for a couple of hundred bucks, then have to hand rewire(extend) all your electrical control lines.... Now if you just gotta do it, hey, knock yourself out. With 10" bagger apes, you can reroute your stock stuff that will work on the 10" and still have a little slack when your on your stops.... Hope this helps.....
