12" apes

    G'day gents,

    Some time back pinhead was looking at going to 12" apes, I've decided to do the same thing. (2010 roadking)

    Got the wild 1 chubby apes and was going to wait to get some 4"  over brake & clutch cables but looking at the old post it may not be necessary - just need to extend the wiring. Some one mentioned that the ed of heavy duty magazine went to 12" apes without extended cables.

    So the question is - has anyone done this using the standard cables? I've got a ride to Albany next swing home & don't want to start the job to find I need the extended cables.

    Cheers, stumbly

      mate

           put wild ones 505  on my 09 flht........... and replaced clutch cable only because  it routes up thru the batwing

      did not extend wiring or abs brake lines  ..............  no dramas at all

    could have used standard clutch cable without batwing fairing

      not sure if my 505s are the same as your bars just check the web site........wished i had gone an inch higher

      be aware that the throttle by wire kit may be required as the joining clip often breaks unless ya real careful

       i got mine apart ok so didnt have ta use the new twist grip throttle clip when i did the internal wiring bit , so if ya need one of these kits i have 1 brand new in box i would sell  for 1/2 price + pstge

     the kit has longer wiring

          cheers

    Thanks Pat, thats put my mind at ease a bit. I'll make a start on it wednesday, but heading off friday down south so was a bit concerned if I got 1/2 way through and needed to rush around getting parts.
    If I stuff up the TBW I'll take you up on your offer.

    cheers, stumbly
