Default bagger ape cable length
just got my w0578's i see i need +4 clutch cable. since i cant get a straight answer out of the parts guy at the dealer. does anyone know the part number for the +4 oem braded clutch cables for a 2012 sg . i asked the dealer for the cable and i keep getting told that the service center will need to measure them. well thats gonna cost me money im betting. so if anyone has the part number that would be great. the 2013 online parts catolog doesnt show cable lengths. thanks

Pg 844 of the 2013 HD accessories book. Stock diamondback kit is 38921-09 which is 62.7 in length. I just did the W0578's as well. You want 4" over, so 66.7 length, # 38923-09.

This is not very hard to understand. They do not stock every length of cable. So instead of taking a wild *** guess, order the wrong part, have to measure and order the correct cable, all while the customer is bitching about not being finished yet......

Why not just measure after the bars are on and order exactly what is needed? once? Makes sense to me.

It's not rocket science.
