Can anybody tell me what length cables I need for +4" over stock for the clutch, throttle & Idle cables and brake line. And if they are available in standard black vinyl. Part numbers would be great. Went to dealer this morning and parts guy is dumb as dirt. No help at all. Acted like I was bothering him.
When I changed the bars on my Springer, I used kite string to run and simulate the cables and how I wanted them to look. Then I just measured the string and ordered the cables to length. Worked out great. Hope this helps.

I just ordered all my stuff from Johnny Vaugnn at hdbikeparts.com....Seems expensive at first, but if you do the math it's about the same as piecemeal AND you get the right lengths. He knows what he's doing.
Click what size bar 12" 16 " etc, it will take ya to that Handlebar page
Then
Click Fat-Mini Ape Handlebar Requirements or whatever requirement for those bars.
You can also use the Handlebar Measurement Comparison Chart to get the HD part number that closely matches the bars your putting on and the go from there.
