I am in the process of switching out my stock bars to the HD reduced reach bars (p/n 56176-08) on my 2013 Street Glide. Has anyone installed these on their bike that can tell me if I need any longer cables or wires? My dealer is telling me I need a new longer brake line, clutch cable, and TBW wire. All. the wires and cables seem to be long enough except for maybe the clutch cable. I have heard people say yes and no on replacing the cables. Any help would be appreciated because I don't want to have to buy longer cables or wires if I don't have to. Thanks!

 

Everything I have read suggests you don't need any cables but a reroute of the clutch cable may be required. Do a search on the forum for that part # and there is lots of info on here.

 

I have done a few searches but got mixed reviews. I was hoping to find someone who has installed a set.

 

Yes I have installed two sets of these and NO you do NOT need longer anything. Just put a set on my Limited a few weeks ago.

 

Awesome thanks. Did you have to re route the clutch cable? If so where did you route it?

 

I just finished today installing on my Wife's 08 UC nothing else is needed except new bars just re route the clutch cable as close as to the steering neck and loosely zip tie if necessary.Took out for test ride made all kind of u turns to left and right for proper operation.Don't remove radio and be careful pulling the throttle and heated grips wires if equipped so it gets stuck pretty bad at dented part of the old bars, I just cut the bar carefully on both ends of the dimpled part to make it easier cause stock bars are worthless any way. Good luck will take about 3 hrs comfortably.

 

I already have the new bars on and all the wires and cables ran. It just seems like the clutch cable gets very tight when the bars are turned to the left. I will try re routing the clutch cable like everyone says to do. Can anyone tell me what part of the clutch is easier to disconnect for the re route? At the clutch lever or down where it goes onto the trans? I'm assuming at the lever.

 

At the lever I'm sure you already figured that out if you going touch the bottom then might is well put a longer cable.
