Default Braided Cables

Where can I find braided throttle and Idle cables for a Ultra (w/cruise) 3-4" longer than stock.

I'd like to put the 575's on but having problems finding braided and extended with a roll off switch. Zanotti's said they didn't see them in the book.

On Wild 1 website it says the stock cables will work with the 575's. If that is the case you should be able to get cables that would normally fit stock bars. I was looking at puchasing the 575's after reading the write ups in the forum.

Hey guys, you'll find that when using the stock cables there are going to be tight. For a neat and safe install you need +4 on the right and +2 on the left. I've just been through this myself.

Yup. What he said.
As for where to get them...you have a couple options.
You can order the clutch cable from Drag Specialties.
The brake, you can order components separately...order the banjo fittings and the line. Screw together and viola...you have brakes.

What I did though, had my brake cable made locally. Any place that makes hydraulic hoses, usually makes brake lines too...and you can even get it with a cutesy little colored end on it!

I Agree the WO575 with the OEM cables and lines are TIGHT - & you'll have to do some creative bending of the ft brake line... A BETTER - CLEANER install would to go with +3's

Shooter64 is making my braided brake cable for the front so I just need the clutch, throttle, and idle. Clutch, and throttle is no problem, but the Idle cable with the roll off switch is what I'm concerned about.
