I am looking at purchasing these bars after doing some searching on the forum. From what I can tell, I will only need a longer clutch cable +3 to be safe.

My Question: I am wanting to to braided cables on clutch and brake, can someone point me in the direction of a set of cables to meet my needs? I'm not looking to bust the bank, so I don't care if they are HD brand cables or not

Andy advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

 

You don't mention what bike you have. I put these same bars on my 01 RK and went with Magnum Shielding cables and brake line. I had to go +4" on both throttle cables, +2" on the clutch cable, and I did a BYO kit for the brake line. Also had to lengthen the wires +6" (ran internal).

 

Sorry, I have an 09 Ultra classic.

Thanks for the reply and the information on the cables.

 

I'm in the process of installing Khrome Werks 2+2 wide sweepers on my wife's 06 Ultra. My first handle bar swap. I determined that the clutch, throttle and idle cables as well as the brake line all needed to be longer. After hours of painstaking searching on line, I determined the best option was LA Choppers cable and brake line kit for wide or pull back bars. Guessing by the part number, they should be 4 inches longer which will be perfect. I found and bought them from Dennis Kirk for I think it was $332 in black vinyl. Go to Dennis Kirk and take a look. LA Choppers makes kits for stock, wide or pull back and various sized apes. It's about the simplest solution I found to getting the right cables that all match. They should be delivered today so I'll see how I did.

 

Oh ya. I forgot to mention they are made in the USA. I try to buy domestic and support our work force whenever I can.

 

Put the 2+2 bars on an 2011 Limited and went with a +4 clutch which was probably a bit longer than needed. I used a Magnum black braided cable which was probably nicer than needed. I also replaced the TBW unit with the SE unit which has no green plug but it did not appear to be any longer than stock wires. I did this to get rid of the green plug and because I had experienced a couple of "limp mode" issues earlier however I think they were related to throttle body connection. Brake line was tight but OK and all other wire lengths were fine. I left the wiring external for this swap. Dont think the curvature of this bar fits the inner fairing shape as well as the WO bars.

 

The LA Choppers cable kit looks like they will be a good fit. The metal ends are chromed and will look nicer than stock. Can't wait to get it back together. I'm also putting on flame heated hand grips and some Drag Specialties chrome levers.
