It's a crap shoot, on my WG the dealer and I measured some on another bike and guessed two of the four were correct one was too long and one was too short. best bet is to get your bars mock them up and measure. I know this is a pia but is the best way

hey jrk,
So if I get some 14in I dont have to change any of the cables?? Thats sounds like a def mod in my future. I am looking for some better apes but cant fork out the dough for 16in gimps and internally wired cables and such.

takes a bit of working but i still have my stock cables, had to unclip the cables at the down tube, re bend the brake lines, slight bend to the L section where it enters the throttle... but that is it... granted i did do my own internal wires on my bars but i just did that this winter... went for all last season without them bein wired inside... it will work just fine... i have an 06 bob if that makes any diff...
