Default Ape Hanger Help!!

I need some help. Have an 06 FXDI and just acquired some 12.5 Wild One ape's(rainy day shopping). What would be the best length to go on the cables. I see that Barrnetts has them up to a +6",(throttle, idle,clutch) Also, for the wiring extension, I have seen them up to a +8". I'm still looking for the correct front brake lines. Being I have more time than money, I am going to do this, the grips and the V&H shortshot staggered myself. I'm a little nervous but I guess there is only one way to learn. ANY help, guidence or part numbers would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

I just put some 16 inchers on my 00' WG, I went 10 over on the throttle/idle and 6 over on the brake, 10 over on the clutch and have room to grow if I want taller risers....The wiring, I cut and spliced new wiring and all works great. Six over will work for you, giving you alittle to grow as well, 2/3 inch risers.......

+6 will probably be the best way to go. That is what I used when I went to 14s on my Bob.

Are you going to do the wiring internal on the bars?

Default RE: Ape Hanger Help!!

I'm installing 18" gimp hangers on my FXDBI. I'm trying to figure out what length cables i'm going to need. I was thinking 6 over, but some of y'all are putting those on apes between 12.5 & 16". The gimps are a bit narrower than stock & probably a good inch or two narrower than wider taller apes. In measuring them it would appear that 6+ would work fine, any ideas or am I missing something?

thanks
