Try this web site, I installed 12.5" black powder coated Chubby's on my 08 Streetglide and purchased everything from Johnny. Tell him what bars you are going to install and he will tell you what length clutch, throttle and brake cables you need, he also carries wire extensions with the correct Harley colors, pins and they even come with shrink tubing.
I was impressed that when I got my bars and hardware I was ready to go, just add tranny fluid and gasket, brake fluid and take your time it's a time consumming job.
