Exclamation Chubby 12" apes

Santy brought a new set of Chubby 12"ers and need some recommendations for the correct size cables and wiring harness extension on a '98 FLSTS Heritage Springer.
Probably will route harness internal (or not-depending on difficulty level) and new chrome switches wouldn't be out of the question either.
Have read a few posts about harness length and am pretty confident 8" will work, but confirmation of that fact would be cool.
What length cables are required ??? Clutch, throttle, brakes ....
Who's the BEST considering quality and price ? Any othe 'accessories' I need to throw my money at ?
Presently runnin' stock bars.

Its kinda tough to say.What i normally do is mount the bars,then take measurements for the cables,and brake lines.Ive never used the harness extensions,i just cut, splice and solder the wires.

I have a set of 12" chubby's on my springer and I will get you those measurements and I would definetly run your wires in your bars, you should have the deuch connectors and they come apart real easy then you could either soder new wires in or get extentions

Looks like you've got th' Badboy springer. Mine is the HERITAGE springer FLSTS. There are some differences, like..... right side brake caliper on the front wheel is definetly in a different location than the FLSTS. Probably the same for the other cables, though......
depending on what type of risers you've got.
