Are there any cable or wire extensions needed to add 12" apes to a '24 SGCVO?

No blood yet bars still in the mail... Hard to belive nobody has replaced the stupid bars on the new street glides. If nobody chimes in I will post up what was needed.

What are the stock bars? 8” or 10”?

My experience is that you can go up 2” over stock without extensions. 4” and extensions are required.

Good video on installing new bars on a StreetGlide. They basically take the entire fairing off! lol

He talks about how tall you can go using the existing cables.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpTcbivPL0E
for those that just want the facts:

at 1:25 into the video, he explains you can go up to 14” bars and keep stock brake line and electrical cables. To go up in height and keep stock brake line, you’ll need to not bolt the brake line retainer back onto the triple tree. Going to 14” requires removing the brake line from the retainer clip on the side of the steering head as well (39:40).

He did not explicitly state at which bar height you’ll need to lengthen the clutch cable, but it sounds like ANY height increase will require a clutch cable change or extension (13:25).
