Default Cable Length For 14" Apes (Night Train)

I have some 14" BR Custom Apes coming in about 6-8 weeks for my Train & trying to make sure I have everything ready to complete the install as soon as they arrive. I'm trying to determine the length of cables that I will need. "Ash 16" already gave me his measurements & just trying to see what others have gone with that are running 14" apes. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

If you're switching back to regular risers (1.5"), you can call LA Choppers and talk to Chucky.

They have kits measured out for the FXST models, and if you ditch the stock risers and go with 1.5" risers, you'll be on par with the FXST.

Oh I trust him, he has actually helped me out a lot. Just checking to see what others have gone with.

Thanks bro! If it wasn't for this forum then my Train would still look pretty much the way I bought it.

Haha! Smart man. Don't just take my advice. I have been known to be wrong! I always include the disclaimer of verify with whoever you are buying your bars from or another trusted source.

Talk with bill at BR about your cables. I ordered my bars from him and bought my cables as well. He has good prices on the magnums and he'll send you what you need for your setup.
