Got a 2009 road king and i put 16 inch apes on. my dealer ordered me a +10 72"clutch cable that i installed. well after 1300 miles it broke. it seemed extremely long. what lengths have any of you done for 16" apes on the clutch. thanks for any input

i couldnt find anything on that site

 

10+ should have been just right, i used a +8 for 13"s. my guess is a defective cable of they bunged it up on install causing it to fail.

 

the cable i installed and they adjusted. but the crimp on the adjuster came out. i thought i have seen out there with 16s you go plus 6 but wasnt sure

 

I used 6+ and I think I should have gone bigger, seems 8's or maybe one higher would be fine

 

was it close to being to short with the 6? i know my 10 was extremely enough that i think the bend near the adjuster is why the braid came out of the crimp

 

Here's my '04 with 16s. The cables are +6 & do just fine!
