Default CrossBones Bars on a Springer

Has anybody installed CrossBones mini apes on a Softail Springer? I am gtting ready to do just that. I will be removing the stock low bad boy style bars on my 04 Springer, and replacing them with the black mini-apes. Does anybody know what overlength cables and brake line I will need to do this swap? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Go here to find your stock cable lengths:http://www.magnumshielding.com/store/app_search.php

Now do the same for the Bones. Note the difference.

So long as you are running a riser that close to the stock bones risers you will be spot on.

I would just do the Bones lenghts on that 04' even if your riser is a bit shorter. Littel extra cable is always better than tight cables!

04 Softail springer Vs' 09 Bones? Same same.

When I put a set of mid rise FL Springer bars on my 05 FX Springer I had to get longer front brake line, throttle cables and clutch cable. I also had to extend the wiring for the hand controls. Hope this helps.
