Default 16in apes being installed. Cable sizes?
I'm getting ready to install the Wild 1 Chubby Apes on my 2004 Softail Deuce, my risers are 1" 1/2 risers. Does anyone know what size throttle, brake, and idle cables I need, and a good reasonable place to get them at?

Give these guys a call.... http://www.hillcountrycustomcycles.com/

I bought one of their ape hanger package deals (internally wired 16" bars with chrome switches and stainless cables in the correct lengths). Great people to deal with!
