    I am going to put a set of 10" mini apes on my 2010 wideglide...I was going to buy an installation kit but I can only find them for 12"...Does this mean my cables etc could maybe fit the 10" mini's...I looked at the handlebar reference chart but how this helps with cable lengths is any body's guess...

    I have heard that the 10s fit on with all the stock cables. I haven't tried yet, but I am planning too eventually!!

    You can buy ape kits from the US in all sizes with cables and controls already mounted for about $800 delivered. They look good too!! Comes pre wired with the connectors that plug straight in.

    Hill something customs - justr cant remember now. :(

    Sparra.... How was the length?? Any pics mate?  Oh.. and did you cut and solder, or pull the pins?

    Every thing fitted length wise Mongrel...I did have to re-route the clutch cable and undo the fron't brake line clip where it saddles under the bottom tree...

    I pulled the pins and the wiring was plenty long enough as there was a few inches coiled up under the tank...I actually followed KC's instructions from an earlier thread he had up and they worked a treat....I'll organise some pic's...

    Cheers...Sparra

    I haven't ridden far but it seems really comfortable...I have a mate with 16" on a fatty and he loves them...On a long trip he moves em back a little and leans back onto his luggage...
