RE: 10" apes on rg

bigjess did you have to change cables or brake lines? Or did you need to reroute these.

neither of those bikes are mine. I'm still trying to get my first bike so I'm just a picture freak of all things road glide related.

If you go with the 10" Apes - You'll have to change out ALL your cables & lines and entend all your wiring through the handlebars +3" (to be on the safe side)..

RE: 10" apes on rg

Here is my ugly RG with 515's, 10" apes.
You wouldnt HAVE to change out any cables but it really puts the brake line in a pretty good stretch. I didnt like it so I bought me a braided clutch and brake line. Everything else is stock.
good luck
