I'm about ready to order WildOne's 577 12 1/2' Apes, what else do I need?
 
I think I have just about decided on ordering Wild One 577' 12 1/2 inch Apes for my 2010 Ultra Classic Electra Glide. I spoke with John at Wild One's and he said I would need +6 clutch and +6 brake cables. On the electronic throttle he said it can be done several different ways.He mentioned relocating the plugs from above the stereo to below the stereo. What I'm not clear on is internally wiring these bars.John said with Wild One's you have to internally wire them.I thought it would be easier to just internal wire the electronic throttle like on the stock bars and then leave everything else on the outside.I have done one install on my previous WideGlide about two years ago and did not like having to reassemble the connectors after internally wiring the 14' Apes.I was hoping this time I could make it easier on myself.If some of you that have done this install could advise me on what I need in addition to the bars I would sure appreciate it. On the +6 extensions I'm looking for something that is good quality and with a reasonable price.Thanks again for your help this is a great forum.

You can't run the wires outside the bars because the 577s are not dimpled at the controls like the stock bars. I used Magnum braided clutch and brake line on mine. Really should add poly riser bushings also due to the added torque the taller bars put on the bushings. If you have the service manual, wire colors and cavity numbers are listed in it so the wiring is not that bad. Might want to add a trans side cover gasket and a little tranny fluid to the list. I rerouted the fairing side of the switch harnesses down each side of the radio and plugged the bars in underneath the radio. TBW went back in the stock routing.
