I am getting ready to put a set of 12 inch apes on my road king classic. Any suggestions on the best deals out there? Also, for those of you that have done it, what cables wires need to be replaced to make it work?

I hear it can be a pain in the rear to run the wires through the bars.

As always I await the expertise of you fine folks.

 

Question comes up several times weekly. Your gonna get all kinds of answers.. There are deals everywhere.. Check with Eastern performance, hill country customs.. Same thing applies to you sporty ape thread.. Running wires is easy

 

Wires are easy, took me about 15 minutes. You will have less wires than me so it would be even easier. + 6 for brake, clutch and throttle cables. The whole job is easy, especially since you don't have a fairing.

 

Swapping bars really isnt all that difficult but soldering skills certainly make the job easier and less expensive.

This video will give you a good idea whats involved.

 

Do I need all new cables or some kind of extender?

 

I went +6 for my 14s..and got the namz wire extensions

 

Holy cow. If that video is what you need to do to change the bars there is a lot more work involved than I was expecting.

 

What about brake and clutch wires?

 

What about them? +6

 

U can do it in 13 mins lol
