Default mini ape install on a fat bob - question

Anyone out there swapped out the stock bars on their fat bobs yet? If so, did you have to get extensions on the wiring, and longer brake/throttle/clutch cables? I'm figuring that with the shorter risers to accomodate the mini-apes (been thinking of the chubby mini-apes in the P&A catalog) that the electricals will probably be okay, but the cables don't look like they would fit. I believe the chubby mini-apes on the fat bob would be just the ticket to a nice comfortable ride on my fat bob. Any advice greatly appreciated.

I can't help you make your decision but here is a link to my ape install on my 06 streetbob. Good luck.

thanks for the link, very informative. I have the service manual, so just need to determine lengths and so on. I'll be referring to your link when the time comes.
