Default Apes & Cables Almost Done...Woo Hoo!!

[sm=happy046.gif]I finally got the 16inch 1 1/4 inch Apes and braided cables in[sm=bling.gif]. After Saturday night 'till midnight and last night 'till 11pm, all I have left to do is put mychrome nacelle, headlight, etc back together and clean her up and she be done [sm=icon_rock.gif]!! I also ran my wiring inside the bars...Can't wait to ride her with the Apes. I also have the satisfaction of doing all of the work all by myself!! I will have pics posted in a few days.

It is not really that hard...Just tedious. I bought my whole package from hill county custom cycles out of Texas for 369.00. Apes, wiring extension, and all braided cables. They knew exactly what I needed by the make and model of my bike, so I didn't have to do any measuring. Everything fit perfectly. I found some step by step instructionsin the tech forum explaining every step of the process. I printed that out and put it in a folder and it was like having a service manual. It was much easier than I expected it to be.

I just put a post about them in the Gen HD Chat section. Here is their website which has a link to some of their ebay auctions:

Another Member, HDMANNY has been looking in California for a braided cable package to change to apes and he called Robert after I told him about HCCC. Robert's price was almost 150 less than anything he had found in Cali.

What length cables did you end up needing?&nbsp\\; I'm about to put 16in Wild 1s on my RKC.&nbsp\\; They say I need +10in for all except the clutch (+8).
&nbsp\\;
Thanks

Congrates WING on your new bars.&nbsp\\; I just finished mine (12") yesterday and rode the bike to work today.&nbsp\\; I absolutely love them as I am sure you will too.
