Default Anyone know cable lengths for 16" bars?
Hey guys. I posted this in the EVO section first, but I thought I might get more luck in here.

I'm trying to piece together the cables I need to go to 16" bars on my superglide. IIRC the stock throttle/idle cables are 32". I'm thinking +8 on those. Sound right? Anyone done this and remember the lengths on the throttle, idle brake and clutch cables?

I read up on the Burley kits online and sure they look easy but like the song says, I'm on a low budget.

BTW, anyone have anything bad to say about the Santee 16" narrows?

Thanks for the help.

look up cables for an FXDWG wide glide then add 6" to the length.The wide glide comes with 10 inch mini apes,so you just need 6 inches longer.
