The only thing I can say is that I didn't have to change the throttle/idle cable to put 12" apes on my 883. You will have to lengthen the clutch and front brake cable, as well as your wires.

Are you sure those are 12"?? They look more like 10" bars to me, but the picture could be decieving.
The black bars do look good with that bike!

Looks awesome man. sweet bike. I've been thinking about getting 10" apes but I really dont want to spend the money to increase the length of the wires and cables...
