Default Mini apes on your 48?

Curious if any 48 owners have put mini apes on that would have a rundown of what is needed to install them. I want to look at a Chisled style with about 8 to 12 inches. What are the costs and parts (cables) required? Thanks

Russ

Installed the 8” tall boys on my 16 48 all I needed was a new brake line. Any taller I would have to do the clutch and throttle cables also.
