Default Need cable length for Carlini/Rocker

Can anyone tell me what length cables they used for installing Carlini Clean Sweep 7" on a Rocker? Trying to order everything in time for next weekend. Thanks

This is where a tape measure is your friend. The only way to be accurate is to mock up the bars and physically measure.

I'm not positive but I think you will only have to change out the break line...as the 7" carlini is almost the same measurements as the stock bars...don't quote me on this though

Due to my schedule this will cause me not to be able to ride for 3 weeks. I know others here have done this mod before and it would save me alot of downtime if they could tell me what they already know. Not having much luck though. Nobody responding to PMs or anthing.

On my bike I only HAD to change the brake line. Mine is an FXST and I don't know what the difference is in the stock bars between it and the rocker as far as rise and pullback. Measure the rise and pullback on the stock bars and Carlini's website will give you that info on the clean sweeps.

I don't no why the stock cable size won't work.
I'm putting Wild One Chubby 10" Drag bars on mine and using the stock cables.
I don't know if your going with stainless or what?

I don't know either. Thats just the vibe I'm getting here from people. I'm home early this week due to the flu but I'm going to take a tape measure and compare the two sets of bars and make my best guess at it. If I have to change the cables I'll be going with chrome I guess it is. If I don't need new cables I'll stick with stock and change them later. Priority one is getting it on the road again as fast as possible .

Ok I did some measurements and it looks like to me if I change the brake cable I would actually need a SHORTER one. The carlini bars are shorter and narrower. Not sure how anyone would think I'd need a longer cable.

Also noticed the plug for my turn signals are not as accessable as pictured on other bikes. I guess I'll have to remove the tank to get to it?
