48 handlebar cable extension kit
Hi everyone,
Just purchased the Flanders #1 handlebar for my 48. The difference in cable length compared to the stock handlebar seems to be 7 to 7,5 inches, so i don't think the stock cables will be long enough. Will appreciate any ideas on the cable extension kit i could use for this installation.
Thanks!

burly makes 12" or longer cable extensions but are expensive. I put 10" Z bars and only had to put a new brake line on.If you need to do your brake cable, buy a "build your own" kit. I got a steal braided kit that you just cut to fit and put the banjo fittings on for $55. Company called Magnum. Got it from my local HD dealership.

It all depends on how tall your bars are. I re-used my stock throttle and clutch cables. I just took off a couple of the cable ties and moved them up closer under the gas tank and had enough wiggle room for turning. The only cable I replaced was my brake line. I ordered a 6ft lenghth with 90 degree fittings. Cut it to 37 inches and everything fit great.

I put 12" mini apes on my 48 and I replaced the clutch cable and the brake line, I also just cut a few tie wraps and was able to keep the stock throttle cables. The dealer sells an extension kit for the control wires, it was only like $35 I think and you get to keep the same color coded wires. A few butt connectors and your golden.
