I'm sure it's been covered a million times. Want to put apes on my springer. New to this. Can anyone send me a link or very specific step by step instructions?

The hardest part is the cable and wire lengths. Internal or external.

Can't point you to any specific brand, but from what I've read is that most will hel figure which cable length you'll need

I have a night train that I put apes on last summer. Installed custom sized bars with 3.5 inch risers. Called him gave overall rise of bars, tip to tip, and riser measurements. Sent me everything including a really high quality brake line in under a week.
Had I called Barrett they prob would have sent me trian +10 cables which would have cost more but got standard +6. And didn't have to worry about fitment lengths. Fit perfect. Got stealth series and they look sick. He also gets longer clutch cable than throttle for nicer look, can't get that in a prepackaged kit.
