They are longer on lets say a valk or a 750 ACE to accomidate for the longer bars aren't they??

Im looking at a project for my magna that would give me some chopper style ape hangers and am gonna need longer wiring. Instead of splicing, I was hoping that I could use maybe the wiring from another model honda in there place. I am getting stainless steel brake, throttle, and clutch cables in longer lengths. Any comments?? Attached are a picture of the bars Im putting on

Hey Rob are those drilled for internal wiring if so you might be better off cutting and soldering or get the tool that takes the terminals out and make your own wires it would make for a awesome look hiding all of them  probably be a guess as to the if any of the other bikes wires being longer than the magna...... Cool bars though........

Hey Allen, they are just regular bars. Im just trying to keep from have to splice wire together to make the length I need. We will see. Should be nice though. I am also contemplating getting chrome struts for the back to make a hard tail. Not sure if my back could take it, LOL  :twisted: . Im also looking at getting some kind of a solo seat made. I have one now, but dont like the style. Needs to be lower and meaner looking with flames stitched in it.

Rob check on Shadow and Valkyrie stuff as they are usually the same bar diameter and the controls and wiring should all be the same.
