If I bought these bars how much more reach would I have? Would it be 2 or 3 inches closer? http://www.wild1inc.com/orderWO500.html

As far as wiring, I was told if I changed my bars to pull back at all I would need new wiring...is that HD's way of milking my wallet?

wiring and cables are two different things.

you're going to have plenty of wiring to bolt the new bars right on.

your throttle, idle, clutch, and brake cables should be fine as well, but that's just a guess.

Harley Davidson has risers that may do just what you want. You can order them from a dealer.

It's easy enough to extend wires with a butane torch kit, Belden mil-spec tinned teflon insulated wire, solder, shrink tube, electrical tape, and silicone RTV sealer. If you are at all interested, I can walk you through the procedure.

Dynamic that sounds like something I should absolutely not attempt to do!!!

Wire, cable, hell I'm a woman it means the same thing to me! I will buy the bars and see if the cables/wires will work as stock...if not, then I have another problem to deal with.

Here's something to help you clarify.

Wires carry electricity.

Cables are used to actuate (move) something.

Default I like separate bars and risers

I use 1 1/4 Fat Drag Specialties drag bars that accept a standard 1 inch control setup and riser setup. Then you can just change the riser and pullback without changing anything else. That is after the first install. I use 4 inch no pullback risers and can switch to 6 inchers in 10 mins, I really like that option cuz when you change foot controls or seats you can tailor your bars to that particular setup. I do however like integrated bar riser setups cuz they look cleaner ,but no riser options and wiring hassles eliminate them on my bike.

woman or not you're responsible for operating, and as an extension of operating, having a working understanding of, a 15,000 dollar machine.

having a vagina isn't an excuse for being ignorant about your vehicle.

making cute jokes about it all being the same to you won't get you home when you snap a clutch cable on the highway and call the dealer crying about your "handlebar wire thingy" being broken.
