Default cable lengths....

as some of you probably know i will be adding t bars very soon,

ive decided to go with 12" t-bars from westcoast t-bars since they actually measure 13" from bottom to the top of the cross bar.

i have stock throttle and idle cables and stock clutch cable that i know will work but i dont have a brake line.

so i am looking at the magnum shield brake lines...

they show the stock cable at 48" long.

Do you think a 50" cable should fit the bars fine?

Here is my guess, if you stock HD ape is 10.5", riser 1.5" total 12" height, I can't see why your stock cables and brake line don't work with 13" T-bar. Have you tried?

I'm with auto. You'd be surprised what these stock cables will work with.

I used my wife's measuring tape for sewing, its vinyl so it easy to measure. Stock street bobs workd for me, I installed 12'' outlaws on my bike.
