The bars on the Deluxe look great. Were you able to use the stock throttle cable, brake line and clutch cable. Did you have to extend the wires?

As I am 6' tall the original stock bars and risers put the grips too close to me giving me a bunched up feeling and were a pain when doing slow maneuvering that required me to move the bars to either lock.

I already ordered a set of Wild 1's W0504 dresser bar but now am also considering HDs narrow beach bar. What I like about HD bars is that they are 1 1/4" all the way across whereas the Wild 1's are 1" in the center and it takes a nice clamp to hide the 'necked down' look.

Thoughts? Thank you
The RK Custom beach bars may be your best choice, circa 2005-2007

Were you able to use the stock throttle cables, brake line and clutch cable with the Burly Bikini bars?

Only my brake line, it was 2 inches short.
