Default Tallboy Handlebars on a FLHTK

Has anyone installed a set of tallboy bars on an Ultra Limited? part number 56184-08
If so, what do you think of them? I am 6ft 3 and looking for something a little taller. Aside from the clutch cable and brake lines, was the stock wiring long enough?

I did, you don't have to change anything, except for the throttle position sensor. Some guys buy the extension kit for the existing TPS, but mine was done by the dealer, so of course they go the expensive route.

For me they were too long of a reach causing me to sit upright. You could tilt them back to eliminate that, but at 6'6" I needed the legroom.
I ended up with the Wild 1's 577, perfect for me.

The Tallboys are for sale in the classified, I'm open to offers

I recently completed the install of Wild 1 Chubby 12.5 inch bars on my Ultra Limited. I did not have to extend the switch control wires. But they BARELY made it out of the bars. Anything taller than 13" and you'll need to extend the wires, including the throttle by wire.
I did have to install a longer clutch cable.
You may find my website www.FLHTK.com of interest.
