Default Looking for handlebars and cables....opinions please!

Im newer to the harley scene. Finally saved up and got a 2000 roadking classic. It has stock bars which i want to change to a 12 inch ape hanger. Anyone have a set they can comment on? My biggest thing is what cables to get? I see some cable kits for taller bars and they are around 400 dollars. Is there a cheaper better way to get the cables i need? And how do i know how long i need? Sorry for all the questions im just trying to make this as painless as possible and not feel like i payed too much. Thanks alot

Look at Wild 1 chubbies, probably +6 on the cables. You have to look around to find the best deals.

+1 on Wild 1. Their website has lots of info, including measurements and photos on different scoots. If you have a specific question give them a call. They were helpful when I was deciding on bars - ended up with black 515 and Magnum black pearl cables.
