Default RKClassic and 12" Apes - Need cable lengths

Can anyone provide me with the correct cable lengths for the clutch, brake and throttle cables if I change my stock bars to the Wild1 Chubby 12" Apes? I want to use steel braided. Any suggestions on what cables to use or best vendor to get them from? Thanks for the help.

Ride Safe,

James

Try www.johnnyvaughn.com He specializes in custom cables and you get all the parts necessary to do the conversion. He'll want to know what bike and bars and will fix you up with the correct length.

+4 or +6. The +4 will work, and the +6 will give you a little extra room. Guessing here, but I put 18" on my rk custom, and used +10.

For WO515s I used +4 on throttle/idle and hose, +3 on the clutch, and soldered in about 7" on the wiring. If I were to do the same again, I would probably do only +3 on the hose and +2 on the clutch. Hope this helps............
Ride safe.
