Need advice on cables
First i have a 2012 iron 883.
I am looking at buying the licks 12 inch Fatty Aped Z's - Stepped-Black Powdercoated or Licks 10" Aped Z Bars-Indented-Black Powdercoated. I contacted Burly brand to buy their sportster cable kit to extend all cables to fit the 12 inch z bars. Burly email me and stated they will not fit z bars. Anyone have any ideas on a kit that will or if the burly brand really will fit? |
you may just need a new brake line. i have a 6 inch zbar. and all my wires are fine, the stock throttle cable is very long. the 12 inch im not sure.

In my opinion. The burly kit would probably work. There kit is designed so the electrical wires are internally wired. And it's generally not a good idea to internally wire Z bars. They were probably just trying to cover there own asses.

It would just be a pain in the ass. I internally wired my bars and it wasn't that hard, but my bars have removable end caps on the bars to aid in making the wires turn corners.
here's a link if you're interested. Road 6 Customs 10" Apes For your cables, you should check out Magnum Shielding I used a 48" 46848SW brake line If you decide not to internally wire, you probably already have enough wiring stuffed up under that tank that you won't need to worry about that part. |

I used a 48" brake line for my 10" apes. It should be long enough for 12" apes if I were to ever change mine.

10 inch is sounding better

The theory is.....with the sharp bends on Z bars you have a greater risk of rubbing or breaking the wires and causing a short.
