Cable extension kits?
Looking for insight or advice on cable kits. I want to change to 12" rise from my 8 " rise bars, are there any cable kits preferred? for what reason pls. Are there any that I should stay away from? also , for what reason?
Have anyone used the cable extender kits? super cheap but i would assume to be soldering and heat shrinking the connections. how easy is it to screw this up?

Do it right, don't get the extender kits. That's just asking for problems down the line.
burly has mixed reviews, clutch cable primarily for some users.
magnum shielding seems to be a reliable source and widely used without too much bad reviews.
Drag specialities also makes the wire kits, I've had no problems with them.

As to your 'wires' (handlebar controls), yes they can be easy to mess up. However if you are proficient with soldering...etc, and be completely **** about documenting the pin location and wire colors... there's no problem. I extended my own wires the same time I went to the mini-apes & new cables... that was probably around 5-6k miles.. I'm almost at 70k now... never a glitch.
If you're not proficient and detail oriented... let someone else do it
