Hello DYNA Bros... I'm getting ready to swap-out my stock 10-1/2" mini apes on my 2006 fxdwgi for a set of 18" 1-1/4" ness w/ built-in risers, I have figured out the cable lengths for throttle/idle/clutch & brake (i think that i have anyway???). What I would like some advice on is the handlebar wiring extensions... The NOVELLO brand look to be the best and simpilist to install. By my calculations I should only need the 8" kit but I believe that I have read a few post on here about guys using the 12" and even the 15" on an 16" ape install. I understand that you really do not want your wires and cables too tight but on the other hand a bike with a whole lot of extra wire and cables bowing out all over the place on the front of a bike looks really sloppy...(IMO)

 

You may squeak by with an 8" kit but I'd go with a 12" kit to be safe. I used a 12" kit and had extra but it tucks neatly into your frame; there's no reason you'd have extra bowing out anywhere. That said, I hope you're going with bars that allow for internal wiring.

 

8 is a squeaker go with 12 you will find you want have any left over[sm=biker2.gif]

 

Thanks for the quik replys guys, I need to get this stuff ordered and y'all are big help steering this rookie-wrench in the right direction....

PowerCobra98 they are drilled for internal wires, again thanks for getting me to check and double check. I hope this swap goes off fairly smooth so as my down time for ridin is short....

 

On my softail that I finished with 16's...I got the 8".The left side was perfect, the right side was short..Ishould have got12"... Go heavy and tie up the extra...

 

I just finished my wife's bike 16 inch apes with 6 inch risers and used the 8" Novell extensions and worked great.

 

Where can you find these wire extensions? Does Novell have a site?

 

i think JP has them

 

I have 16s on my bike and did not have to extend the harness. you'd be fine with the 8" kit...anything extra would just be icing, so to speak.

 

available through the drag catalog... can get at stealer for same price as J&P but not pay shipping and handling(J&P is a rip off).
