Default Ape Hanger install

I'm new to this site, its helped me so much in the past i decided to join. Anyway, I have a 2006 XL1200C. I just bought 10in Zbar apes. I am thinkin of doing the install myself, any words of wisdom as far as where do go for line/wire extensions?

Default Thanks!

Thanks for the link. Im hoping the bars fit with the stock components. if not, it seems like it may turn into a can of worms.

Line/wire extensions? Are you referring to the cables (throttle, clutch, brake) or the electrical harness (possibly) located within the handlebars? If electrical, Novello makes a very nice extension kit for the harness.
