paul yaffe classic apes
I want to install the paul yaffe clasic 10" apes. Some say that all the cables are long enough. Is the front brake line long enough also?
Those that have this handlebar is it more comfortable for you?

Had em put on my 08 ultra. My brake line was not long enough, had to go a little longer and the clutch was going to be tight so I just did that too. It seems the 09 and later have more play in their brake lines to do it. BUT it seems that the 10 mark is a hit or miss with the yes or no when it comes to the clutch. Some say yes, some say reroute others just go like +4. I went longer just to be sure. PLUS.. almost every aftermarket clutch is better and easier to pull then stock... although clutch replacement makes more a bit more work ya might not want to get into if you can make it happen.

What bike are we talking about? On my SG, my wires were long enough but I had to replace the clutch cable. On my RK, the wires were WAY to short but the clutch cable and brake line were fine...
I have a set of these awaiting install. (wife took over the shop for a f***ing garage sale)
Does anyone know if the brake line can be reworked to reach on a 2002? I bought everything else but brake line(s) and wiring extensions.

I put 10" Wild Ones mini apes on my RK, and the brake line needed to be massaged a little, but it worked out ok. Had to extend the wires, all of the other cables were tight, but worked out ok.

11 SG with ABS, when I put my 11's on the brake line was just shy of working, but would have been very tight. I didn't check the clutch cable to see if it had worked. I bought a brake line and clutch cable for the install anyway, but I was just curious. The wires had plenty of room, just had to relocate the plugs for the switch wires.
