What total lenght of Clutch, thr/id, and brake line did you use brother?

I got a 77" for the Clutch

54" for the brake line

and 46" for thr/idl

I wonder if that will suffice, I hope I measured well...

Nice thread Mojo, I wanted to do the same when I installed my Apes but kept forgetting to take pictures. What Apes did you get?

I got Sterling Chromite cables and brake lines; nice stuff, looks identical to HD diamondback, except the clutch cable is braided all the way to the trans side plate, and the adjusters are nicer. Local indy sold it to me cheaper than I could have gotten it online anywhere.
Clutch was 78", 58" brake line, 46" for thr/idl.
Everything was perfect.....the only thing you have that may be short is the brake line. At 58" I didn''t have much xtra, but I'm using the inverted forks that are about 2" longer than stock, and my front end is not lowered, so you may be OK.
I used the Namz harness extension kit; it was much cheaper than the Novello and worked very well.

So I see, thank you. But I see you do have risers still, right??? Mine is a Fat Boy so I don't know if the fork overall lenght is minor vs your bike's.

Great post, thank you for the info.

Mimo.

Just as a tidbit, don;t have to remove pipes. Just loosen them up at the jugs, and mufflers brackets. Use a round headed allen wrench for the tougher bolts to get at. there's enough clearance. Just what I did...

Great job man!!
