Default Custom Cable

I got a 75 fxe super glide. So I am doing handle bar swap ( 16 inch ape ) also decided to run a cv carb on it too. I am having hard time finding clutch cable that long enough to work for my bike (74 inch). When you start throwing around the word custom things tend to get a little expensive. I was seeing you might know where a guy can get one made up for my bike or just buy. Along with throttle cables also (58 inch)

thanks for your time.

MotionPro can make anything you need. It will cost a bit more but nothing crazy.

When I put apes on my 01 Scout, which is basically a Softail, I went to a local Indy shop. Gave them the length for clutch cable and throttle cables. No problem. I did have to add a taller block above the carb where the cables go through. I did it to this bike.

Yes to both of these, I've had both companies make custom cables for various builds I done, trick is gettin correct measurements.

Those bars a 10-12" over clutch cable should work. Try Jireh cycles, where I've bought most my shovel stuff over the years.
