So if I do a 10in T-bar I should be able to use all stock cables off my 2010 wide glide? After looking at FXDB cable measurements my BL is 4in shorter

Ya, you should have enough. When I installed my 8" t-bars there was plenty of throttle, idle and definitely clutch for 2 more inches. I considered replacing with 10" bars, but decided to go with 14" apes instead.

On a Wideglide, you have to realize that higher also means closer so it will always be a compromise unless you go with bars on risers or the adjustable T-Bars I have seen. Again, I got lucky and they fit PERFECT...Got to love not having to extend wires or take plugs apart too. Just pull the tiny ones through the bars...

Hey, what years have the smaller connectors? I did a buddies 2012 and had to remove the connectors.
