Default 14" apes on 07' Street Bob

I'm sure I'm beating a dead horse here..

gonna buy burly 14" narrow 1inch apes.

can I use the stock cables/wires on my 2007 street bob?

if not, and I get the extension cables kit, can I run the cables/wires thru the bars? I want braided lines but they're too expensive so I'd rather run it thru the bars..

what else do you guys reccomended for this install?

thanks!

Not quite the same but I put 12" narrow apes on my Street Bob with the stock cables/wires, no problems. Also, only the wires run thru the bars.

To make sure you need to measure the length of your cables with string and then mock up the height to see. I would suspect with 14" and wanting to run them in the bars you will need cable extensions. You will want to check the throttle cable and brake line as well.

I haven't measured them, but I pulled off what I'm pretty sure are 16" apes from my 07 Street Bob that the last owner installed. They're definitely longer than the stock mini apes. They were internally wired. The harness was not cut into or spliced, and there were no cable extenders. The clutch cable, throttle cable, and front brake line were all replaced with longer versions. Something like 2-4". I can measure everything out tomorrow if you want.

Sorry it took so long to reply. The bars I removed ended up being 16". Throttle cables, clutch cable, and brake line were all 4" over stock.
