Q: I’ve just joined up to FMH and I’m trying to find a video on how to measure the length of custom Harley cable needed for a new installation on either the handle bar controls (front brakes/clutch) for when installing bigger handlebars or putting more rake/length on the front end. Can you please help me out? I don’t want to order the wrong length/size lines when it comes to doing my new handle bar and front end install. Is there a process/video to follow? Can you get back to me asap please you help will be much appreciated. Thank you
I use a seamtress cloth tape measure, simply route it where you want your cables & theres your length,
in the past I have used a string ,, route it,, mesaure the length,, keep it simple,, Respect, PawPaw,
I have a 2015 Iron 883. I want to put 16″ apes on. Do I need the 16″ cable kit, or will a shorter length kit work? The bars currently on it are stock. Thank you

Hi Bob, Most likely. Make sure to mock it up and measure the wiring and cable lengths. http://www.fixmyhog.com/videos/handlebars/
