Default Deal or No Deal

So I've decided to look for some Apes for my RKC. I have found a set of +? cables for $200 and a set of Wild Ones Chubby 509 (16" apes) for $125. If the cables are +10 or so (which is what i've been told i need for 16's), should I bite or pass these offers up? Both deals are OBO as far as i know.

Later,

BM

Check out the Magnum Chromite cables. I got a plus 4 clutch and plus 2 throttle and idle for 202. Still gotta order the brake lines.

thanks for the info. I guess i wasn't super clear. The 200 is for braided cables and brake lines as well. I have an e-mail in to the person to find out the length.

You were clear enough. Just making a suggestion. If you haven't already seen the Chromite cables, they look a ton better than regular stainless braided, at least they do to me.

What your looking at sounds like a deal. Good luck on the length.

I have an 06 RKC. I installed wild one 16 inch apes. The cables were +10. There are two sections to the front brake line. The brake line from the calipers up is about $150. I paid a total of $550 to install my 16 apes. I used braided cables. You will also need wire extensions for your wiring.
