hello everyone, I recently picked up my first Harley, an 02 dyna superglide. I'm new to Harley's, sold my jap bike for my dyna. Very happy with it so far. I'm looking into changing it p a little bit since it's completely stock other than intake and exhaust. I was wondering how high of bars I can fit without cable extensions. I wanna go for T bars, people say I can fit 8-10" on stock cables. I'm on a budget so lengthening the cables is out of the question for now. Also what are some other good first mods to do, and things to watch out for. Thanks everyone
i put 10 inch T-Bar on mine with stock cables. still got enough slack, so i think you can go up to 12 inch. probably depends on the width of the bars as well.
besides handle bars, just google and research Stage 1-4 for Dyna, and you will learn about increasing power and torque through several mods.
and lastly, just enjoying modding overall to "personalize" your bike for yourself
and lastly lastly everything will cost lots of money $$$$$
What width are yours? I wasn't looking for super wide bars like the stock ones anyways. And what diameter are they? I see 1" and 1 1/4" everywhere, just wondering what the stock controls fit
I threw some 10" slingshots (see pic) on mine, stock cables fit fine, but the brake line is a stretch. Wouldn't have been able to go 12 without replacing the brake line. Other inexpensive and satisfying mods? Grab an integrated taillight from ramjet, a lay down plate holder, a good used le pera or lucky daves seat off eBay and ride the hell out of it.

Did you buy the gauge clamp too? Is there anywhere else I could mount my gauge without buying the mount? Would it possibly bolt up to the bolts that hold on the little vision over the headlight?

Yea, i have the speedo mount from WCTbars.
I wanted to keep stock speedo, i like having my N / OIL / Engine / HB lights.
I have some buddies that ditch the speedo and run an aftermarket one, mounted to the frame or engine. You can get creative with the placement if you pick up something like this:
