Default Best cables?

Looking good cables to get for my heritage, getting ready to put 14 inch apes on any advice would be great!

All I will say is look out for throttle cables that only have 90° turns at the adjusters. Even on small rise bars I put on a Sportster they look wrong to me.

With high rise bars I think the cables ought to point more to where they will thread by the fork yokes.

Big fan of Barnett cables here, I`ve been using them for about 50 years.

In addition to the standard stuff, they will custom make make anything you want.
