did it on my 99 and 03. But I also switched to sportster bars, so they weren't as wide.

Very close. But I don't know for sure the brake cable will reach since it's wider out... I say try it, and cut the bars a little if it doesn't.

I have an 04 FXDI, I put 3.5 rise with 1.5 pullback, they're snug with a lil play, I could probably squeeze a 4.5 total but that would be about it. Bar's are on the to do list but doing detachable sissy bar & luggage rack first.

I know the electrial looms are coiled under the tank and have the length on a Dyna but not sure how far the brake line, clutch and throttle cables go.

Possibly you could unclamp the bar and raise it up to check.

I am using roadking handle bars on my super glide. The Brake line had to be straightened to reach you might say. The cables are as far as they will do without rerouting them, even if that would help. I am using the stock 2 inch risers.I didn't have any more room for anything taller or wider.
I would consider putting cables, brake line in the picture just in case. Not necessarily purchasing them, just knowing who has what that will work. I use electrical wire that is used in houses. It is stiff but won't stretch and will bend easy enough. Take a measurement what you have but it in a draft on paper in scale. that is how I do it, takes a few but makes it easy to know what you need to do.

Oh, I don't push the limits n cables, lines, and electrical wiring. I want good slack in them.
