Burly rep back in 2011 was talking smack! Just fitted 16" apes with recommended Burly kit yesterday & clutch cable is binding like a b*tch. Assembly stamp inside box reads May 21 2012. Lots of time & money wasted to go hunt for a REAL clutch cable now..

Never got a chance to try my cable since I over tightened the cable at the case and it snapped I got the threads out with a lot of booze, swearing, patience and an e-z out kit now the real question is what length of cable I need for 4 inch risers and 10inch bars so a total of 14 inches. Side note I really like the Barnett cables haven't had a problem til now
