Can anyone tell me if there is a place to get extended wiring for my honda VLX 600? I got the cables but couldn't find the wires?

You need to solder in extensions yourself. Cut the old ends off the wires, the solder in the new ones. Apply shrink wrap, electrical tape, then finally wrap loom around the entire thing.

Something to think about is that ape hangers are going to make it a lot tougher to steer your bike.

Before you make that mod. You might want to make sure what is LEGAL in your state... (In MD handlebars may not rise higher than 15 inches from the seat.)
