Default Stock Clutch Cable LENGTH???

Good Day!!!

I'm in the process of adding apes to my 2009 Fatboy. I haven't taken the stock clutch cable off quite yet which is the reason for my inquiry.

Would anyone know what the stock clutch cable length is?? I need a cable 4 inches longer than stock.

Thanks!!!!!!

I would put my bars on teh bike first, then use a mock cable to determine the length you actually need. Most of the time folks get it wrong by just adding the length they think they need to stock. You have to consider the shape of the bars, the direction the cable will take, etc, etc. This will all change when you add new bars. Most places will not refund money or exchange cables you buy, so it pays to use the mock cable to determine the acutal length you will need.
