#513473 grayp34 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 151 Ape Hanger help 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   So I decided to go with baron Kong 16" apes I talked to my dealer and they will charge me $600 to do all the work, including the actual cables and install, hydraulics, and electrical work. However they want to wait till the winter (October/November). I'm debating on whether or not I want to just do it myself. I see on the Baron website they want $400 just for the cables so at that price I might just wait till fall and have the dealer put them on for an extra $200. I need some assistance in where to get the cables and hydraulic line and what size I need. I have an 08 roadie, don't know if that helps. I've never done any handlebar swaps but I have done lots of electrical work so I don't think that will be an issue. Any tips /suggestions for me?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #513476 Just Dave (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 439 Re:Ape Hanger help 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Here is a recent thread with lots of answers to your questions. http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,187/func,view/id,503792/catid,49/limit,10/limitstart,0/   Logged     A Happy Traveler has no Particular Destination   The administrator has disabled public write access. #513477 Roger7886 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1407 Re:Ape Hanger help 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Check with Tim b at metric magic for the cables and hose. www.metric-magic.com Go to his site and send him an email and he will get back with ya pretty quick. That's where I got all my stuff and he's a great guy to deal with. I doubt you can find a better deal.   Logged     I was born An AR in my hands Behind the gun Ill make my final stand And thats why they call me Bad Company   The administrator has disabled public write access. #513481 Just Dave (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 439 Re:Ape Hanger help 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   You can also call Shane here. http://www.sscustomcycle.com/ Tim and Him are close in pricing and he is in New York so he is a lot closer to you. I have bought from both and they are both good guys.   Logged     A Happy Traveler has no Particular Destination   The administrator has disabled public write access. #513482 grayp34 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 151 Re:Ape Hanger help 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Thank you both! I have some reading to do! Roger- can he help me with the hydraulic line as well? I'm guessing this line is too big for inside the bars. This may be a dub question, but do they make a chrome line for this?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #513483 JohnnyBravo (User) I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley Platinum Boarder Posts: 1599 Re:Ape Hanger help 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   You'll want to go +8 on cables, I went +10 on my throttles you can see in my sig pic..a bit long unless that's what you want.

You can get everything in braided stainless lines like JB has in his Sig pic.   Logged     I was born An AR in my hands Behind the gun Ill make my final stand And thats why they call me Bad Company   The administrator has disabled public write access. #513486 grayp34 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 151 Re:Ape Hanger help 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   JohnnyBravo wrote: You'll want to go +8 on cables, I went +10 on my throttles you can see in my sig pic..a bit long unless that's what you want. Seriously for $200 labor I would wait if they are good at doing apes I was thinking that as well, unless I can find cables cheaper then $400. If I can find them cheaper I will do it myself, if not I will probably be waiting.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #513494 TimB1007 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 612 Re:Ape Hanger help 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   grayp34 wrote: JohnnyBravo wrote: You'll want to go +8 on cables, I went +10 on my throttles you can see in my sig pic..a bit long unless that's what you want.

You better make sure your dealers mechanics know what they're doing. If you want peace of mind, do it yourself. You already said you are familiar with electrical, that's the toughest part.   Logged     2006 Midnight Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access.
