Thanks guys, they are 16" DNA Monsters. The "powdercoating" they came with was horrible, I paid to have them stripped and recoated locally. I didn't document the install, pretty straight-forward and very much like any of the others I've installed. 12" NAMZ wire extensions, 72" clutch hose, 38" upper brake hose and the ABS adapter. Could have gotten away with 8" wires, but no harm in having extra on an FL softail, diffrent deal on an FX where everything isn't hidden in the fork tins.

I've hear I can do 8" bars on my slim without lengthening the wires....I hope so.

Sounds about right, maybe 10’s depending on width I would think.

Otter, do you know the quality of chrome finish on DNA bars? Also where did you purchase yours? I would like to find a set of 12 or 14" bars that are 1.25 diameter to go with my 41mm forks. Thanks.

I bought them online through an ebay store, I don't know about the chrome, I would assume it also sucks. These are 1.5" bars also. If I didn't have a hydraulic clutch, I would have gone with Carlini in a heartbeat, I've used both them and Factory47 in the past and they are top notch though and through.

As much as I like these bars now that they are finished properly and installed, I would never buy they again, or any other DNA product for that matter.. they were THAT BAD. (think grade school rattle can job, not kidding)
