    I am putting on some 12" ape hangers and I am gonna need a longer brake cable and throttle cable. Does anyone know anywhere that would make these or is this something I am gonna have to have custom made? Thanks

    Clutch and throttle cables can bmade to ay length you need at your local bike shops. I just recently ordered some braided brake lines from www.motorcycle.bikeparts.com. Good prices and the cables look good. I would be willing to bet 9 out of 10 michigan policemen don't know that regulation so don't try to cut your bars down.

    Yeah I want the apehangers really bad, so I will make my own lines. Not worried about the police. I just have to wait for my bars to come in so I can measure how long i need the brake line and the throttle cable. Gonna try to rig up a jockey shift/suicide shift for the clutch and shifter. Ill post some pics when I get close to bein done
