Thanks for your help and I didn't intend to hijack the thread.

Ride safe!
IIRC....the cables were +8. If you can't get a straight answer form someone you are spending ~$600 with, find a new dealer! I have bought a couple sets of bars/cables from Johnny Vaughn at www.hdbikeparts.com

I would recommend giving him a call, he can provide the entire parts list! Makes it real easy.

Well it is coming along nicely. I have both sides wired, waiting for the 12" extensions to arrive to finish up under the fairing. Bars are tight and all controls are back on. New +4 clutch cable from magnum shielding...BITCHIN'...installed today. I did sit on it today to see how it would feel and it hard to tell, but I am sure it will be freaking awesome when done. Should probably get to ride by early in the week if the weather cools down a bit. It was 106 today. Later.

The brake line will stay stock for the time being. I wanted to do the whole system in braided but just couldn't pull it off right now...FIXED INCOME...ha!ha! I figureon getting the brake lines all at once and take that on as another project. The stock fit fine with no issues at all with the 575s.
