Default Apes

I have a 93 fatboy with stock bars, I would like put 16" apes on it. Can anyone tell me cables and hose lengths. Save me the trouble of measuring.

No. if you want it perfect you are gonna have to wait untill you get your bars and plan how you will route things. Sorry its not what you want to hear. I added 13" big buffalo 1.5 apes on my heritage and needed 8" extra on wires, 6" longer throttle cables, and 4" longer clutch cable. I know that sounds weird but thats how it worked out. good luck.
