Default Have time may go Ape

I am in a situation where I lost my job this last November and have a lot of free time on my hands. I know I need to get back to work soon but I would really like to ape my 2002 RKC while I have some time. I want to go with Carlini bars but will need to either order a kit to extend the wires or make one myself. I will also need to order the extended throttle, brake and clutch cables too. I am an average Joe. I feel like I can do it but would like some input. Any ideas what is the best place to buy the cables and wires? Any input on the install? Thanks.
Ride safe,
Mike

I got my cables and brake lines from Magnum and wire extensions from Namz. Their electrical extensions were MUCH easier than extending them myself. Good luck!!

Lovin my 16" Gangster Carlini's!!!
Probably my best addition to my bike!
I picked up my cables through J&P Cycles using my "Gold Club" membership, saved a few bucks..

I just got mine from Magnum and they are nice. Be careful with their upper brake lines. They go in sizes from stock to +12" in 2" increments but the measurements are wrong. My +6 is really only 3" longer. I am sending back mine for a longer one.
