Default Throttle cable

Hey guys, I’ve got an 07 street bob with 16” bars. My throttle cable broke and I was wondering if anyone knows what size replacement I need to order. Thanks

Those bars are 6" taller than stock, so I would think the cables aren't stock. Just measure the old one.

I understand that they are not stock cables, that is why I asked if anyone knew the length for 16” bars. I figured someone else had those bars on one and just wanted to know if the knew off hand which length I needed. The old one is still on the bike, we have it working to where I can still ride it locally so I didn’t want to take it all apart and be without riding.

You don't have to take it apart to measure it. Get a length of wire and use that as a guide.
