Default Paul yaffe 16" monkey bars help.

Hi all. Just wondering if someone could help me out. I'm going to be ordering the 16" monkey bars for my 05 road king w/o abs. I have a long enough brake cable already, I just don't know what length throttle cables/clutch cable I need to get. Just wondering if someone could help me out in what size to order. Thanks in advance!

I went with +6 on my 04 with 14 f47 malos. Clutch is spot on the throttle is probably 2 inches to long.

My recommendation with gaffe 16s, I would do +8 on clutch and + 6 on throttle.

A safe way is use a string to determine length. Route string via cables path and measure.

It's quite understandable that you may want to have everything ready before you start, but for the best bespoke fit install your bars, adjust them so they are where you want them, then measure for everything else, as suggested above.
