Default Handlebar swap Blackline

I installed some new bars on my blackline. I need longer throttle and clutch cables. And a longer brake line. Why can't I find them on the HD website? Am I just missing something? Would most HD dealers have the cables and brake line in stock? Would I be better off driving there and getting them. I found the Wire extenders on the webpage. But not the cables. Here is a picture.

you will probably have to order the throttle cables, but the brake line they should have in stock.. the dealer i use has up to 52 inch brake lines in stock and then you can increase the lenght by adding additional shorter brake line if needed. thats what i found out with my wifes sporty when we put mini apes on hers

LAChoppers.com has complete sets for your bike based on handlebar length. So if you have 16" bars, look for the set made for a softail with 12-14" bars (because your bike has no risers, you will need to go down one size since they assume the bike has a 1.5" riser). They have sets for ABS and non-ABS. I used them for my bar install on my blackline, and they were great, shipped fast too.

I think those new bars are going to look great on there. Blacklines should come with apes in my opinion. Please post some pics when you get it all back together.

you would think that there would be a kit to install apes on the bike. There are a ton of blackline owners that want new handlebars

Go to Magnum Shielding and get the DIY cables. Affordable and same stuff that comes on the bike. This will allow you to fit the cables they way you want them. That's who I used when I put my apes on my Blackline last year.
