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.
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.
