Default Stock to 18" Ape's Conversion Kits

I found this one on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-AP...mZ330120482234

How big of a pain in that *** is it to just buy the bars and move my existing controls to the new bars? I am assuming I need new front break cable as well as a clutch cable, is that all?



Ohh ya its for a 02 WG, I need to stetch me out a little more, I am 6-4

I considered purchasing that same thing before just doing it all myself. Should I ever boost up to higher apes (12.5 right now), I might just do that next time. I would think you'd need new brake, clutch, throttle and idle cables. A harness extension as well if you don't feel like digging it all out of the spine.

In all of the ape conversions that I have done if you go more than 2-3 inches you have to replace throttle, clutch, brake, and extend the wiring harnesses. If you dont want to hassle with running the cables internally then they do have bars that you can run the cables on the outside or you can splice the cables or if you can find them get the wiring harness extension.

I guess I would like to keep my existing controls. What cana guy expect to pay for the bars and all the wiring extensions?

Anyone know of a good website so I can find everything I need from one supplier?

I paid 340 for wiring, cables, 18" bars, and retro grips.

I dunno, but those bars look awesome. I love the chrome switches on the controls.

Just some clarification for myself, ...When youtalk of "splicing" cables, you're referring to the electrical wiring, NO??

I hope no one splices their cables. :-)

I used a no-splice extension kit for my harness. Worked like a charm.

I love the looks of those bars as well just don't know it they are worth the extra cash. Plus If I use my existing controls I know everything is there and it will work fine.

Bobjob, where did you pick up your items from? I wish there was a internet site that sold kits, buy the kit and just change the bars out. Easy, fast and cheap.
