Have any of you guys used the Burly cable kits for installing apes? How easy was the install? How accurate is the kit (if you ordered a 14" kit was there enough slack for 1" risers or more/less)? Quality?
I just got done installing some 16" apes with stock risers on 06 Street Bob and there was plenty of slack
I am pretty sure I will need new cables. The Fatty comes with drag bars. I know all the Street Bob guys had the luxury of already having apes so putting on longer apes is not as big of a hassle.
So I have another question for those who might know... yet another cable length question. I have put the dimensions of my bars below and the bars I will be buying (Wild 1 14 in narrow apes - WO614). How far over stock should I be looking at here?
Current bars (factory drag bars)
30.75 in wide
6.5 in base
7 in pull back
0 in rise
5 in risers
New set up
33.5 in wide
10 in base
8 in pull back
14 in rise
1 in risers
