anyone running biltwell friscos?
hey guys and gals. looking to put a set of biltwell friscos on my 2010 sporty iron.
done a search and not found much - is anyone running the friscos? and did you have to extend any cables etc?
i see they come dimpled or non dimpled. if i was to drill the bars and wire internally how do you know where to drill the dang holes?
any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance!

i have them on my 09 xlc. I wired mine internally and didn't need to extend any of the wires. The brake line is short, but if you straighten out the bends, it fits. I eventually replaced mine though with a stock length black diamond brake line.
I order mine with dimples and installed first without internally wiring and they looked sloppy. I drilled them at end of the dimple and an oblong hole in the bottom middle. It was kind of a PITA to drill, but do a google search and there's a good step by step on how to do it.
if you wire internally, cut the wires and solder back together. It is almost impossible to pull the ends around the 90 degree bend at the bottom and then out of the middle. Make sure you debur the drilled holes and use finesse to get the wires through the bars, push and pull to work around the corners. Brute force won't do it. I like them a lot.
