Default 16" Chubbys

Guys, putting 16" Wild1 Chubbys on a 08 FXSTC. Anyone have experience with that and what cable lengths did you use? Also, where is a good source outside of harley to get risers that work with these bars(the two clamp stock risers on the custom don't work)? Appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Default RE: 16" Chubbys

I just put 16" bars on my bike. Went through an independant dealer for all the parts. The front brake cable is 56" A little long, but it still works great.
I think a 54" would work the best. Depends on the size of youre risers. Mine are 2".

The clutch cable is: 75"
and the Throttle cables are: 46"

These are all on an 06 night train. Should be roughly the same for you.

Just my .02 but from my experience I would mock up the bars when you get them and then measure for the cables. I took an educated guess and measured of another bike. Ended up back at the dealer three times to get the right lengths. I will take longer but will look much better in the long run. Good luck.

I have 1.5' carlini apes on my bike, they are 41' wide so a lil wider than most. I went with +10 on everything and they fit great, not too loose or too tight. Oh, 1.5' risers by the way.
