Did you mention the model# and are they TBW throttle control? I have a 2012 FLHTP

They are LA Choppers Big Johnson LA7303-02, website says through 2010 TBW but I don't know what, if anything, changed from 10 to 12. They are 1-1/4 and very comfortable for me. My Indy bought them through Drag Specilaties, here's the link, says they fit through 2015

For what it's worth, I used the stock cables but was not able to route the clutch cable through the fairing hole due to the angle, which bugs me a little but I'll find a rubber grommet to plug the hole. I have the bars pushed as far forward as possible without contacting the inner fairing, about a 1/4" clear.

PJones, I am ordering the LA-7303-02.
I am also going to suck it up and get the LA cable and brake extensions. I have 10" apes with stock cables. Too tight on the clutch cable. I will get the set for 12"/14" apes. Should get me a few extra inches of play.

Cool, interested in your take on them after you get them installed and put some miles on them.

Also would like to know how the longer cables work out and if you are able to route it through the inner fairing hole like stock
