Default For those who installed apes on a crossbones...
Do you remember what length cables you went with? I'm installing wild 1 16's, any info would be greatly appreciated.

When I did 16" LA Choppers on my 2006 Springer Classic with 1.5" risers I went +10 on the throttle/idle and +8 on the brake line.

I did a jockey shift, so not certain on the clutch line, but I would probably lean towards a +10.

I ordered everything from Magnum Shielding directly. They're black pearl lines are beautiful.

I second that Magnum Shielding is the way to go... I found them about 4 bikes back... and have rocked apes, and the black cables ever since!
