Wondering if this is a good deal on cables, MeanCycles - KAWASAKI - VN 900 - APE HANGERS / KONG BARS - KONG BAR CABLE KIT FOR VULCAN 900 CLASSIC

I haven't priced them much and saw this on Meancycles. It doesn't say, and I'll call to clarify, but I'm assuming that includes all of the fittings and everything (obviously not the bars). $300 just seems like a lot. Thanks in advance for any info.

you're not going to put those bars on your 900, are you?

I ordered mine from Phat performance parts. Was $236.85 shipped.

Not those exact ones. Why?

Seems about the price I paid when I did my V2K...though living up here, prices were more expensive than some other prices I noticed down there.

Try pricing them out individually with your local dealer. After I did our bikes, I checked with my local dealer and they had Russell lines and Motion-Pro cables at very reasonable prices.

Good idea. Thanks.

This is what I paid from Phat Performance the length was for 13" apes. The brake line I could've went with +4

Barnett Stainless Steel Clutch Cable - Vulcan 900 Custom [Cable Length:+6][Cable Finish:Stainless] $77.95 Shipped
Barnett Stainless Steel Throttle Cable Set - Vulcan 900 Custom [Cable Length:+6][Cable Finish:Stainless] $103.95 Shipped
Galfer Front Brake Line - Vulcan 900 Custom [Galhper:6] $54.95 Shipped

Total was $236 shipped Phat offers free shipping on orders over $99

The lines are not cheap and they cost me the most to convert to Apes.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing. I swear nothing on a bike is cheap! :toetap:

Oh yeh, personally I'd stay away from Goodridge brake lines. I used them on my old V2K the fitment stank, they forgot to send a "T" splitter and when they did it wouldn't fit my bike, and their customer service was 110% useless.

I used a combination of Galfer and Russell lines on Tracy's old crusier and both products were great.

If you get black cables you can get them for around $200 or stainless for around $230. $300 seems high.
I'm buying mine in stages, i just ordered my throttle cables a few days ago.
When i get some more play money i'll order the rest.

The Gafler I bought bolted right on. I didn't need to modify anything

cause I'm not picturing it looking very nice with your fairing.

 

[wild_deuce03]

Well, the fairing is probably coming off.

 

[vulcaneer]

That might be a good idea. Fairings and apes don't mesh. IMHO

Not till it gets warmer!

These are the ones I've been wanting for some time. 16" Fatty Z-Bar Handlebar for Harley & Custom - www.debrix.com

I know, I know. Lines don't flow with my bike. Blah, blah, blah. I like 'em and that's what I want! :tongue:

 

[predfan2001]

I paid about the same as Guidosarducci from Phat....Barnett cables are nice as well as the Galfer brake hose. I had read mixed reviews on the Galfer hose but I've had no problems and I like the way the fitting at the caliper end rotates for best fit if needed.

 

[wild_deuce03]

Baby. :biggrin:

I see we're going to have to conduct a tuff-man competition! :tongue:
