Default 16 inch apes for a 06 street bob
I have a set of 16 inch apes that I want to change out from the stock mini apes, has anyone done this and if so what cables should I order?
Thanks
Sarge

i'm not 100% positive, but i think you would need cables that are 6 inches longer than your stock cables. hope this helps.

16" look awesome, I'm gonna make some for my bob,

did you all internal wire and were the std wires long enough to do the job?

the std wires do seem quite long.

cheers

I went +6 on all mine and the clutch cable seems alittle to long. Your stock wiring should be plenty long enuff to run internally.
