Default Heritage Apehanger install

2019 Heritage. Looking to install 14 inch Carlini Evil Apes. My question is: Is there enough wire under the tank to do this job, being that the stock bars are 10 (I think?), and I'm going to 14's, or will the job require wire extensions? I remember raising my Dyna bars up about 3-4 inches and their was plenty of wire under the tank.
Thanks

You will need wire extensions, a clutch cable, and a brake line. That's what I needed to put the H-D 12" mini-apes kit on mine.

Did you order the wire extensions separately or did they come in the kit? I'm guessing there are 5 connectors (3 on the right, 2 in the left)?
thanks for the help

Definitely wire extensions and cables. Correct way is wiring extensions when mounting the bars, then measure for the brake/clutch cables and order them.
PIA, yes, but now it's done correctly. Too short, too long clutch cable leads to probs. Too short, too long brake cable makes for an eye sore.

14's on the Deluxe, 12's on the FLFBS. Remember that risers add another 1 3/4".
Also, use neoprene bushings. Good luck, show us what you end up doing. We all respect owners and their pics.

Did you order the wire extensions from Harley? If so, what length / part no # did you go with on the 14 install?

HD parts are 10-14 days waiting if you order theirs. Best to check local stock first. Namz and Magnum Shielding, Carlini too, offer wiring extensions. Always ask what they recommend.
Double check everything you order from Carlini, sent me the wrong neoprene bushings. Most important would be insisting insurance added to shipping, he will not refund/nor replace damaged goods.
The FLFBS with the 12" Carlinis took swich wire extension kit 69200034, and 69201795 turn signal extension kit.
The Deluxe with the 14" Carlinis were soldered.

OK, that was helpful. I've always soldered everything also, but I'm attempting to go the plug-in route this time if I can understand exactly what I'll need to have before I start. So my question is this: When you did the 14' Carlini's (which is exactly what I'm planning), you said you soldered. The 6920034 kit you used on the 12's were 10 inch extensions and the turn signals 69201795 were 8 inch extensions. So would you think I'd need roughly a kit with 12 inch extensions and 10 inches for the turn signals? I can always look up the part numbers for those lengths.
Thanks for your help
Jeff
