Yeah, you will definately have to. I put a 4 1/2" rise with drag bars and barely had enough. Hope you're good at soldering...

I put a set of Mini apes on my 04 1200C. I was able to re route the throttle cables and they worked fine, I had to go with a longer clutch cable and front brake line. You can get a set of wiring extensions from Harley so that you want have to splice your wires.

To keep from rewiring the front turn signals I reloacted them to the front forks with a kit from Harley. Looks much better and didn't have to splice anything.

Good luck with the project.

Mac, what's the rise on your mini apes? And do you have a part number on the wiring extensions? That'd help big time cause I'm putting some 13" apes on soon.
