#111342 beav406 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 extended cables 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'm putting 10" ape hangers on my bike, and i'll need longer cables. Does anyone know how to figure how much longer the cables need to be? Is there a formula for determining the extra lenght needed? I've seen one on the web somewhere, but I can't find it again. Help me please.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #111353 bmatpt (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 153 Re:extended cables 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I put 12" on mine and the only thing I changed was the front brake line. I just measured the distance and added a little. The other cables, I just re-routed and it works fine. I am going to go to 15" and then I will be replacing with braided, longer cables.   Logged     Riding and Jeeping is always better than the alternative   The administrator has disabled public write access. #111376 eagle_man (User) It's not a Yamahadog, It's a YamaHawg!!!

I think for 10" apes you should be able to just reroute your exsisting cables and get by. Front brake line??? Basic rule of thumb is measure stock cables, add in the height of the apes then take off 10 inches. Example you want say 18" apes lets say your stock cables are 30" + 18" = 48" - 10"= 38" cables.

I'll try rerouting first.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #111471 Tbone21 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 239 Re:extended cables 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Make sure you can fully turn the bars both ways w/out anything hanging up. I also went with 16" apes, and went +12 on the cables. I wanted to make sure that down the road, there would be no problems from any unknown tension.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
