I'm puttin' 18'ers on my 05 Road King Custom. Got the bars but need an idea about the cable and brake line lengths. Anybody have any ideas???

 

Get longer ones

 

the norm is 12" over stock for 18"s.


I pm'ed you a link...

 

I like the ones that make me go "hurrrrrr"

 

I have an 06 RKC with 16 in apes. I had +10 for cables so +12 sounds about right.

 

What I did was have the Mrs hold the bars next to the mounted stock ones then measured the difference with a thick guage wire (string would work too) to get a rough idea. Then I went to Magnum's website and looked up the part number based on the + length. Their site lists stock measurement, and lists the longer ones by how much over stock they are. I also shot an email to the manufacturer of my 16" bars (Wild1) and asked them, they were spot on.

I was interested in Barnett cables, but they considered my need to be custom due to the length and therefore I couldn't shop prices without first calling them (and probably paying more for "custom"). Magnum has everything right at your fingertips and the Cromite II looks great. . .

I included links in my DIY bar swap: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/271781-a-how-to-guide-for-ape-install.html

 

Plus 1 on the Magnum cables, I got the longest they had for my 18" flyin´ apes on a FLSTF. They had ´em called +6 but that is not really stock plus 6 on the fatboy they are way over... Bitchin´looking cables.

Mimo.

 

Cool!! Thanx for all the info!! Went to Johnny Vaughn and made my order today!! Pics will be up as soon as the bars are!!
