Default Question about adding little apes.
Anyone know if the cables/wires are long enough on a stock street bob to put 16 inch apes on without replacing them?

Long time since I"ve been on the site.....still awesome.

The wiring harness should be long enough but you will need to buy new (longer) throttle / front brake / clutch cables. Hillside country cycles on ebay has a pretty good deal for apes with cables for $299. I have these installed and they are pretty nice.
