Namz wire for apes.

I know some of you guys have used the Namz wire extentions when installing your apes. My question is how long should I get for 14" Vindikta bars? The bike is a 2014 sgs.

Thanks
Rodney.

I ordered the 8 inch extension for mine, same bars, 14 inch Vindiktas.That's what everyone said order. Matter of fact, I literally just took them out of the box 20 minutes ago! The bars.

it is simple to cut wires and extend. My wire extentions cost me less that 5 bucks and worked perfectly and i dont have to worry about and extra connection that can come appart. I installed 14 in KST bars on my 2014 SGS and used 10in extensions so I could route them to the spot where they are from the factory

This meant that I had to run the entire extension internally. I used the SE TBW so there were no connectors on it. I could not for the life of me get the switch wires with the extensions through with the TBW wires. After an hour or so of frustration I went out and got wires and soldered my own extensions. Wish I would have saved my money and not bought the plug n play wire extensions. If I ever do a bar swap again I will just go straight to soldering them myself. It may take a few extra minutes to splice/solder, but for the time and frustration of trying to push/pull the connectors through, it would have actually saved me time skipping straight to splicing/soldering.
