I don't mind helping you out with the 'Search' thingy but if you wanna do something like this we're gonna have to disown you!
Hey Keith, I love when this pic gets posted. Dave and I see this dude around and his bike is rediculous. He looks like a moron too when he's trying to maneuver at low speeds. What's also funny is that dude is kinda short too so I just don't get it.

Yeah, I remember you guys mentioning in an old thread that you see him around. What I don't understand is how he doesn't get taken off the road by the fuzz?!?!

Wonder how far this dude ever rides in one hit-down to the local bar-2 hours rest and then home!!!!!! Seen a patch member years ago with similar trying to reverse down a steep drive-ended up in a heap at the bottom of the drive-very embracing as there was a crowd of bikers watching on.

Perhaps because he makes a strong case for the existence of God. Darwinism should have eliminated this dude years ago.

I put 12" apes on mine last year, ordered the cables and brake hose from bellacorse. It took about a month to get them because they had to be custom made.

I wanna say 200.00 for the clutch and throttle cables and 120.00 for the brake hoses, I bought the set since my bike is a 2002 so it was a good idea to change them anyways. The big pain was the wiring since you have to extend everything going to the controls. I could not find replacement harneses anywhere.

I bought brake line and fittings from J&P Cycles. No need to buy custom made stuff when you can get just about any length you may need and the 10mm banjo fittings that have an AN3 for the line to connect to.

I am just doing apes. This isnt much help as i am in the UK but there is a company here who take your old throttle and clutch cables and will make them into any length you ask for to exactly the same spec as the OEM cables (they use some parts from the cable you provide) the cost was about $100 total for all 3 cables. Might be worth the postage cost if you are looking at $300 to buy new!!! as for the brake line just like everyone else said, build it yourself.
Turnaround was about 2 days from them getting the cables

i make my own cables, over here you can buy kits for about £10. , as for extending ya wires, go to your local trump dealers exsplane you want male and female conectors to extend the wireing loom from the head light to the bars, wire the conectors to the lengh requiered, then just plug in, its that simple, what size apes are you going to use as i am lookin for 20" and 4" risers, i just seem to be having trouble locating the right stly of bars i want as i dont want any or hardley any pull back on them so i might have to have them made...
good luck..
