Default 14" menace apes road glide.

Working on installing these and encountering a problem with the length of the clutch and brake lines. I think I'm about 3 inches short on both. I'm new to touring bikes and the internal wires had enough slack. Not seeing any slack on the others. There something hidden or should I just get the other cables lengthened?

supposedly you have to cut some zip ties to get the slack on the hydro lines.

Found the ties. Still tight, but manageable for now.

All hooked up! Though I did buy some longer lines to install next week and needed to improvise with a shorter brake clamp because the front was too long underneath and allowed the throttle to jump off the tbw connection. Overall I like it.

Still have the breakout. Just added the road glide for the long hauls. Yup the Laguna Orange.

You can watch video's on you tube. They not only cut the zip ties, but remove the plastic connector holder to get the needed length. The one I like is from 6 customs.

Those bars are ridiculous; I love them!

Are those Kury mirrors?

Also, to buy some length, replace the 90° banjo's with 180° ones; the lines will them point DOWN instead of OUT. It buys a little length.
