Cable Routing and Clamping for Apes
I recently installed a set of mini apes (14") and stainless cables, and am kinda stuck for what the best way to clamp and route them. I routed them the same way as the stock cables, but due to the taller bars and longer cables there is alot of room for them to move. Just looking for ideas, and maybe pics, of what you guys with apes did. My biggest complaint is the clutch cable, when I have the wheel in the full left position the cable rubs on the tank. Not that I do much riding like that.
Look forward to any advice and pics if possible.
Thanks,
Brad

RE: Cable Routing and Clamping for Apes
Sorry, yes I did buy extended cables, not really sure what length. I like how you routed them, but it looks like the clutch cable is routed through the triple trees? I have a fatboy, so that won't quite work. I do like how you routed the brake and throttle cables though. You wouldn't have any close up pics of the throttle and brake line routing would you? if not, that's ok. Just looking for ideas. Thanks for your pic though.
