Question for those with apes...

I finally decided on how tall my apes are going to be (16"), so I'm ordering a full set of cables too (clutch, single disc brake and throttle), could you tell me what lenght do I have to order for such apes? Lenght for each specific cable? Any manufacturer reccomended??? Fat Boy bike BTW.

Thank you in advance for the info,

Mimo.

Used +10's on my buddy's Road King with 16" apes. I used +6 on my 12.5's. I used Barnett Cables and like them alot.

I used the following for 16" Wild Ones on an '05 Fatboy with stock risers:

54" Brake line
44" Throttle/Idle
68 11/16" Clutch (wished I would have used a 70")
15" Novello harness.

I got this link from another forum member, not sure who. Anyways you put in your bike, the style of bars and he customs orders your cables the right length. I got mine from him, took about a week and a half ofr delivery, but they were perfect!

RE: Question for those with apes...

I have 16" on my FXSTC and used plus 8" on throttle and clutch. I had to make up my own universal brake because there is nothing yet for the '08. I used Barnett platinum and Goodridge platinum for brake.
