Fellas,
I'm considering switching from 16" apes with a 32" width to 14" slingshot or regular T-Bars, which come with a 28" width. There's sufficient slack on the apes but will there be too much excess cable or will that not be an issue? I've never dealt with excess cables length so help me out! Thanks!

Bump.
Anybody?

 

Im actually 2-3" over on my 14" Wild1 outlawz install a few months back. I went 8" over from the factory bars.. but I only needed 6". I figured 14-6 was 8 and yeah, in bar calcs its 1-2 less than what i got. It really wont do anything to hurt having excess slack. Havent had any issues and im only thinking about changing cables from crappy basic drag cables to some nice black steel woven Barnett cables.

Youll be fine

 

I have about 2-3" of slack on my clutch and throttle cables since I swapped out my bars, no issues what so ever.

 

Good to know. Thanks, guys!

 

I wouldn't think it would be a problem either.

 

I went with 1.5" Gangster by Carlini, The cables I went with was the 15-17" by Magnum. My throttle and return are 53" and clutch is 73". Waiting on bars to get here now. Cables came today.
