Cool Cable length after swapping bars
Switching bars on my '05 fatboy, going from the stock bars to 9" mini apes. I can find cable kits for 12" and up apes but nothing like what I'm putting on. Any chance my cables are going to work? I don't have the bars yet just ordered today but would like to get cables if mine won't work.

Thanks.

Sometimes the shop you got your bars from can help you with that. At least Wild Ones helped me.

I don't have an answer for yop but I'd like to know the answer myself. I would like to do the same thing. Where did you get the bars from?
