Re:Got the Apes installed!!! 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
Only thing im worried about is wires i can do it but dont want to extend them, maxair use to sell ready made kits on ebay that you would take the connections out the plug and put the extenders in there but i dont see them anymore. I went 2” over on throttle and brake line. Clutch cable will be changed out next year as preventive maintiance. 10's may be where im at we will see.

You can run the cables behind the bars and get some more length out of them

and the wires are not as hard as it looks, even a dunbass like me did em like it was nothing
