Default ape hanger cables
Is there someone out there that has cable kits/wire kits already set up for ape hangers ? I want to install a set of 14" apes on my 2002 road king and the person doing it for me asked me to get everything ahead of time. Without going thru a catalogue and having to order everything piece by piece is there someone out there that has kits available ?

These guys sell packages and others on the forum have spoken highly of them. No experience myself.

I've been trying to figure out what size apes to go with. What are stock bars on an '08 SG? Like 6"? I don't want them much higher than the fairing. Thinking maybe mini 10's? Anyone? Thanks.

Aaron

Aaron,

According to a chart I found on the Wild 1 website, FLHX stock bars are 7 1/2 in.
