Tim at www.metricmagic.com is also a member here and will get you quality barnett cables and goodridge hoses at a steal! You can go to the website and e-mail him direct. I got mine from him recently and they are awesome.

Re:Ready for taller apes.. 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
Thanks guys. I emailed Metric magic last week .Haven't heard back Ill give it another shot.

How long over stock would you say for 16"?

I was thinking of doing extra long so I could tie them tight to the bars with no sweeping loops.

Yea that's why I went with 20" apes right from the start. Any taller and I would truly hang from them.

This is what +10 throttles look like on 16 inch bars and stock risers. You can look at my profile page for a slightly different angle.

Re:Ready for taller apes.. 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
I had the same hard time getting ahold of Metric Magic, so I just go the cables i needed (+10 throttle, brake (2) and push/pull throttle cables) from the Baron's website.
Oh, and I got the 16" Kong bar off of ebay- someone bought 'em new and never installed 'em. So I got new bars for about half price. Nice!

+2 for TimB.... he is good people... great prices... I always just call him when I need something... he is a busy man these days .... remember, you can save money by just getting the pull cable.... the push cable is redundant and not needed
