Default 12 inch fat mini apes

Got a set of 12 inch fat mini apes off a Street Bob a buddy sent me. Im putting them on my 2010 Fatboy Lo to help with some back issues, anyone know what cable lenght i would need? I hear the stock XBones would work.

When I had 12.5 Chubbys on my old Deluxe I went with +4 on all cables. You have to factor in the riser size, I had 1.5" risers. Not sure if your stock Bones cables will work, give it a try..

Just got done with mine. I ordered +10" (50") brake line for sure. I was looking at my invoice, and it only says "alternate length" for the clutch cable. I will look at the packaging when I get home. Also, the harley apes have a different shape to them. Mine have much more pullback, but I dont believe this will affect your lengths much at all.
