With the 9in riser did you have to extend any cables or wireing or was there enough factory wireing?

handles great, comes out of curves like a dream,
I was able to use the stock cable, but only because the broomstick drags were only 29 inches

Nice Super Glides. Something how the basic model still looks almost like it did when they came out with them in the early 70's
Great looking bikes for sure.
