Installing Mini Apes; 56075-07
I received mini apes, 56075-07, for Christmas and I'm looking for some installation tips. I have looked at a lot of different info about this and some say I can use the current lines and wiring; others say only one or two must be changed; and then those left say everything must be changed.
I have all ready bought new grips, just need to know if I need to go ahead and order new lines and wire; or do a mock up and see what will fit, before ordering.
I sure would appreciate any info you can supply.

I would do the mock up and you will know more then. They look like they are 12inchs so you will probly have to get a kit. Burly has one that I used on my bike. I have 13z and had to use all new brakeline, clutch cable, all the wiring, and throttle and idle cables. It comes with front turn signal wires but I ended up just putting those lights on my forks, ie used the stock wires. Good luck and lets see some picks when she is done.

With 12" apes, you will have to get a new brake line for sure, and possibly new clutch/throttle cables. People have managed to do 12'' Z-Bars with only swapping the brake line, however it is a little different style. I also think the fit of the cables looks a little tight in that scenario.
You'll also have to extend the wiring somehow. I prefer to cut and solder, but you can also get the extension kits and use the pins/connectors. That is more of a personal preference.

I had 17" custom apes on my 883l, only had to extend the wiring and get a brake line. Stock clutch and throttle cables worked find with a little re-routing.
