We do sell the wiring extensions. If you say +2" I can get those lengths for you. I know lengths for apes by heart but nor for beach bars. Didn't someone above say how long they went with the cables? Get me a +__ number and can get you what you need.

Yes i did....The most frustrating part to a bar swap to me was messing with the "molex" connectors. I gave up on them and ended up cutting out my harness and rewiring with new connectors which i purchased at radio shack. Made everything much simplier. Other guys say those "molex" connections are a breeze to deal with....not in my case....So yes i had to extend wires.

+4" will be WAY TO LONG...with +2" i have plenty of play and im running 38.5" BB....like i mentioned above give Hill Country Cycles a call...they can tell you over the phone what you'll need...They have alot of knoledge about cable lengths for certain set-ups...

Ok. Check out the new C&C seat thread I just started in the softail section. It should give you some ideas.
