I ask because I have a 09 1200C and my buddy with an 07 1200c swears he remembers having to get extended cables for his 10 inch z apes....

I just put licks 10 inch Z's on my 07 nightster and only needed a brake cable. Got one from magnum shielding for like 80 bucks.

Great question. I have a 2006 XL1200C and have been wondering the same thing. I'd like to put this on the 2012-13 winter project list.
