Your +4" cable is exactly what Wild 1 said. It's been said you'll need longer brake lines as well. Did you do yours? Also, the MoCo offers a +4 clutch cable in their Diamond series, but not the Black Diamond. At least from what I can tell. If one is looking to stay with HD, is there in fact a +4 available for the clutch & brake lines? If not, who else makes a good looking black-braided cable & lines that is high quality?

I too have the 575's and have yet to install them due to the above concerns and mainly because I have to re-powdercoat them as they come satin black and I require gloss black.

I installed these on my 2010 Ultra and used a Magnum Black Pearl +4 CLutch cable. Part #42234HE or Drag Spec#0652-1164. These cables are more of a grey/black color and not pitch black like stock. I'll take a picture later today for you if you want.
I did not change the brake line as there was plenty of cable left and it looks normal and not stretched. If you have ABS and need to replace this brake line it is expensive.

I bought my bars from M&M Cycle in Ohio. They offer 20% off everything including the Wild 1 bars so they don't cost much more than $12 over the blemished ones.

Thanks
They will be going on the 2010 Police bike I just picked up from Texas Harley in Bedford Texas 3/19/2010 which is another story all by its self! I will be going with 4" over clutch and brake per their recomendation. At least that is what they recomended when I installed them on the 07 Ultra.

Here's a couple pictures of the +4 Magnum Black Pearl Clutch cable and the stock brake cable. Bars are forward as far as they will go without touching fairing. Still plenty of room with Brake if you wanted to move bars closer to you.

Cool, thank you, gives me an idea on exactly what the lines look like. You mentioned ABS. Yep, my EG does have ABS. I kind of figured I'd be looking at a bit of green to replace the entire set and honestly, that's one of the reasons I was putting it off. Since I'll be doing a number of things related to each other (replacement inner fairing, bars, urethane bushings, some electrical add-ons) I want to make sure I have what I need. Your pics helped quite a bit. Thanks for those!
