I'm thinking about moving to a set of 16" ape hangers to replace the stock 12" ones on my 09 Crossbones. The ones I'm considering are from road6customs. They are already knurled and dimpled for internally wirring and specific to springer front ends. They are 1" bars so I shouldn't need new risers. Ok, here is my question...
What am I missing here? what do I need to know about internally wiring the bars? special items for controls? Master cylinder mounting? Wire length? Just trying to see if this is going to turn into one of those projects thats going to empty my wallet. The bars are $140.00 and I figure spending $100 or less on grips, maybe a $100 on hand brake/clutch levers....what am I missing?

Like M I K E said,all longer cable's and brake line w/ banjo bolts
(need to know what degree). New wires or wire extensions. The best thing to do is(IMO) to get the bars mount them, then mount you levers and switch housings so you can measure and see how long to order you cables....ect Oh yeah pick up a **** load of patience while you at the store as well you'll need it.
