Wire Extension Kit Size

I'm replacing my drag bars with some 14" apes. Can someone that has used Namz Extension Kit tell me what size I need to order to complete the swap? (4", 8", 12" 15")

Thanks!

I ordered the 15" kit just to be safe when I changed to the 14's apes on my Lo and I have way too much additional wire. I could have easily used the 8" extension. That being said, my stock wires were long enough to run the whole length of the new bars and I was able to plug the extension in at the bottom of the bars. I may push the extra wire into the bars instead of leaving it under the tank. I don't know what would be best or if it matters.

Personally, i cut mine in a staggered pattern, got extra wire the same color and soldered them together closing the wound up with some heat shrink tube. Came out perfect.

I put the 15" kit on my bike with 16" Gangster apes. The stock wires were long enough to run through the bar. I could have went with the 8" and would have been fine, but i did not realize the stock wires had so much extra tied up under the tank. On my Fatboy lo it is easy to hid the wires behind the nacelle.

I would say the check to see how much extra is tied up under your tank or be safe and go long.
