Cable Length for 16" Ape Install
Hey Y'all. This is the first time I've ever posted on anything like a forum. I'm getting ready to try and install Cycle Smith's 16" Ape Hangers on my 2006 Ultra Classic, and am hoping that someone out there has done a similar install. I know I keep reading that the BEST way to do it is to get the bars, install them, THEN measure for length on cables and lines. This would seem to be a pretty common install, and would like to order everything together and then start the install. If I have to reorder a different length cable or line, I will, but if possible, would like to try to get everything at once. I don't plan on changing the risers, and am restricted by the fairing, so I can't imagine there's alot of variations possible.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

your best bet (I think), would be to get the 16" wire and cable kit from Burly. Don't know of a link, but if you look on ebay you will find it. very fair price and will have everything you need. ........ buy your bars, a Burly Kit, a case of beer, and a few hours later...... your going down the road with your new apes.

I may give the 12 over a shot. I had looked at the Burley cable kits, but it appears that they aren't for anything prior to '08, dunno why, but... also, I need to make sure my radio, cruise, etc connections are extended. I know in the end, I'll be happy I did this rather than the dealership. I was there yesterday asking about the 12s that are available thru HD, and the parts guy said he could have me "out the door" for under $1500... I'm looking at being "out MY door" under $500 doing the labor with a buddy... actually, I'll probably be handing wrentches to my buddy watching while he does it...
