So after reading through all the forums I'm going to attempt putting 12" apes on my 11' bob by myself. I've read a lot of people saying there's plenty of wire....can anybody let me know if wire extensions will be nessacary.

But if I had to do it again, I would just by new switch modules from Harley or aftermarket. They come with 5 ft of wire. That way you also freshen up the modules at the same time.
Also, you'll need to know how to remove the connectors from the wire looms and reinstall them if you want internal wiring. Pro tip, if you unclipped a wire from a connector, but then you can seem to pull it out, the pin probably rotated around inside the connector. So turn the wire 90 degrees at a time and try pulling until it comes free.
