Default 32 in drag bar question?

I was wondering if the throttle and clutch cables are long enough, when swapping them from stock to 32 in drag bars? I have 04 custom...thanks!

Well not sure on the newer since mine is a 97, but I had to change the clutch cable on mine because it was too long and one day got caught between the fender and the wheel.Luckily I was moving very slowly and it didnt do much damage.So check this out when you switch or it could be a disaster.I also need to replace the front brake tube as it is too long but I havent done this as yet.

I agree, if anything the stock cables may be to long.

With 32" bars the cables will be fine, I did not not have to change mine and they don't interfere with anything. Like the others said they are a little long but you'll be okay.

I would think you'll be fine with the stock cables, electric wires, and lines, but tou may need a zip tie or two to keep them from flopping around...
