Default Control wire extension?

hello everyone! I just bought the LA choppers 14" ape hangers. I purchased longer clutch cable, brake lines, and a plug and play throttle extension. Everything is in the mail on the way, and my bike is already tore apart ready for the new set. My question is, do I need to purchase a wireing extension for my controls? Turn signal, lights, radio etc. I can't find anywhere saying I need to, but I may have over looked it. Thanks!

Not sure but if you have to extend the cables and brake lines, most likely you'll need wiring extensions as well. I've used NAMZ before and they're color coded so it's easy to hook them up. You might as well wait till you get the bars in to figure out how much extra you'll need.

I used these when I did my bars: http://www.namzcustomcycleproducts.c...-baggers-only/

Plug and play replacement for the stock harnesses.

Today I swapped out the OEM bars on my Road King for Wild One 517s. Because I decided to run the control wires inside the bar, I had to stop to order wire extensions. I ordered 8" extensions from NAMZ. Now if I decide later to go to apes, I should have plenty slack to get it done. There was a lot of extra length under the nacelle for the throttle so I didn't need a throttle extension.
