Extended Cables Help
Hello everyone, quick question for you.
I just installed a set of the Arlen Ness 10" mini apes on the bike. And I am about to order my new lines from Magnum Shielding. I just want to make sure I am good to go on my lengths before placing the order from your experience(s).
From measuring the stock cables that are still on the bike, and looking at the distance I will need to make them fit properly etc, It looks like I need to go 4"+ over the stock lengths.
So in total, here is what I am looking at:
- Throttle & Idle Cable 4"+
- Front Brake Cable (Swivel) 4"+
- Clutch Cable 4"+
I just want to get info from those that have done similar size apes and installed new cables. From measuring, this looks like I won't have any issues with binding, tightness, rubbing etc. I just want to make sure before I pull the trigger and order the cables. Any info, pictures, or other input is greatly appreciated!
My main concern was with the clutch cable really because I want to make sure I catch that angle it needs the cable to enter the controls at and not be too tight.
Thanks in advance!
