Default Custom cables for a 2005 C90

So, I finally decided to make the plunge and had my local shop order me the Barons 17" apes for my C90 Bully. The bars are gonna be a PERFECT fit. I am going to have him redo the wiring inside the bars and do new lines for the brake and clutch. HOWEVER, he cant find ANY lines for the 05 and newer C90.
The front brakes go into a molded T connector so you cant just order a longer lever to triple tree line and even PHAT Performance said they don't carry ANYTHING like that for the C90 only the C50.

I KNOW I have seen 05 and newer with apes and custom cables but I cant seem to find them ANYWHERE. Can someone jump in and let me know where you got them from please, I NEED MY APES, these stock bars are KILLING my shoulders.

Thanks

The C90's you saw with apes may have had custom made lines on them. If it comes down to that here's a link that might help. If you do a google search you might find a shop locally that can fabricate them for you.

Not even that site lists anything for the C90. I am about to sell this dayum bike. Its hard to believe that there is such a small after market for these awesome bikes.

The link is to a page where you can order them built to your specs. You tell them what you need, they fab it for you. It's not unusual for a custom builder to have cables or hydraulic lines built to order and it's not that expensive.

I will give them a call tomorrow. I am just disappointed that my bars will NOT be going on tomorrow, but I guess in the grand scheme of things, it IS WHAT IT IS!!!!

Thanks for the link

Well after a little while of back and forth we FINALLY got my new custom cables ordered and the wire extension kits. 7 - 10 more days and they will be here and the shop will install same day I drop off the bike.
I will post up pics when its complete. The wiring will all be internal and I went with the black cables from Barnett.

DAYUM this will be a LOOOONG 7 - 10 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY got my bike back last week. This is the 1st chance I have had to take a pic. its not the greatest pic but at least its a pic. These are 16" 1.25" Kong's with the wiring done internally which makes for a SUPER clean look.
