Default 12" MBB Owners Please Chime In
I have searched the site for info on what length clutch and brake cable to use on my 08 SG but have not found enough info to be convinced on what to order. I just want to know what cable length you used. I am leaning towards +6 on both but want to be absolutely sure. Thanks.

You'll need at least 4" over on the brake and 6" over on the clutch.

The only reason I ask is because I would advise to order them already wired and ready for a plug and play install Hill Country Customs did mine and could not be happier

seems that +6 will leave too much cable hanging and rubbing on things and look sloppy. Call Yaffee and they will tell you what the exact fitment is.
