Thanks BikerLaw, I've got extended cables coming from LA Choppers and will begin the install hopefully next weekend. Yes, I'm changing to 14" apes because of the shoulder/neck pain I have after one hour of riding and after using the "Search" option I found going to apes took that pain away.

Default Install complete.
14" paughco apes with braided stainless throttle, brake and clutch cables installed. Fairly simple demod and install and it is a much more comfortable ride.

Looking good and being able to ride more is always a good thing!

Yes, your clutch, throttle and brake cables will all be too short. LA Choppers sells them in braided stainless or standard.

14" apes aren't that high. I have them on my bike and wish they were 18"s
