Default Tips on extra wire for ape replacement.

I am swapping my rocker handlebars for some 12 inch narrow apes, a la our boy Micahpop. I think the 2 inch risers and bars should fit the current wiring, but I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a set of wires with the proper colors included and some shrink wrap incase I need to solder in some extensions. Thanks!

Had my tank off the other day and found it interesting that there was a ton of extra wire bundled for the left side controls, but none3 for the right. Maybe that is just how my bike came to me as I bought it used but thought i would mention it. The novello kits are what I use for bars. Easy peasy.

Funny about the extra wire on one side. Thanks for the info fellas. Since I have all winter essentially, I am going to see where I am at and then order if I have to. I think my most difficult thing will be pulling the wires through the bars. It is going to be fun, interesting and frustrating (I'm sure at some point). I'm going to take pics along the way.
