Handle Bar Swap

Handle Bar Swap
I've contacted two Harley dealerships on this. I want to swap \\;the stock handlebars from my 2006 \\;custom \\;with the handlebars from a sportster low. Has anyone done this and know which cables will \\;be long enough. \\;Now were talking \\;only a few inches longer for cables, \\;and \\;what about the wires for the signal lights? \\;The dealers couldn't tell me without an actual mock-up.

I replaced \\;the stock handlebars of my 2007 XL1200C them with the stock handlebars (partnumber 56051-06) of a XL1200L. \\;The only thing \\;I needed \\;to change was the front brakeline because it was not long enough. I used the stock brakeline (46411-05B) of the XL1200L. All the rest of the cables and wires were just long enough. \\;The look and feel of my sportster is much better know.

I changed mine on my 2005 1200C to a set of 2007 1200 Low bars and had to change nothing but the brake line. There is plenty of wiring available for the chage and if you remove your gas tank there is extra wiring bundled there to make the change. This change made my bike a 100 percent more comfortable and puts your hands in a very comfortable riding position. I just completed a 1200 mile ride after doing the change and it made a world of difference.

I also replaced the stock bars on my 1200C with 1200/883L bars. \\; I changed the brake line but the cable length was fine. \\; I did however have to reroute the throttle cables outside of the triple tree instead of through it. \\; One of my co-workers had a set of Dyna Low bars installed on his 883C and the stealership just rebent his stock brake line instead of replacing it. \\; The Dyna Low bars are actually more comfortable because they are 30" wide, \\;5" rise and 9" pullback which places your hands in a more natural position and doesn't require you to turn your wrists in as much as the 1200/883 L bars.
