Default Longer Lines & Cables

Greetings,


I'm sure there more than a few threads on this subject, but I need to get longer clutch, throttle, and brake lines. I have an FLD and am switching the handlebars out for 12" ape'ish bars.


Any recommendations on brands?
Anyone know the stock length of the FLD cables/lines, or a site that addresses optimal lengths of cables/lines?


Thanks!

Sounds good, but unfortunately, this will be too long.

Go to motion pro's website. You can search cables by make and model. Then find length you need, get part number, search and buy on amazon.

Excellent! Thanks!


From what I've seen, Barnett, LA Choppers, Motion Pro and a couple of other companies make the cables. Is there a recommended company of this bunch?

I like motion pro because they're reasonably priced and I've never had an issue with them. If you wanted something fancier the other manufacturers may offer more of a selection. For plain black replacement cables my vote is motion pro.
