chubby WO560 Low Profile Drag Bars
Hi All:
Does anyone have these on there Dyna? I'd like to know what lengths throttle/idle cables, front brake line, and clutch cable I'll need. My 06 street bob has 12" apes installed by the previous owner, and I'm assuming the cables will be too long.
Thanks for any help,
QehQeh

My wife has those too. I find that it feels kind of like riding a dirt bike as you sit so far upright and your elbows almost stick out to the sides. Quite comfy with standard controls.

I think you will be very cramped with the 560's if I were you I would look at the 500's I'm short and I feel very cramped up on her bike and I also have a lowrider same year as her's

I'm seriously considering these on my 2010 Superglide. I'm 5' 5" with T-Rex arms so the stock bars keep me either leaning forward slightly or my arms are almost locked at the elbows and it gets uncomfortable after a short while. From what I have read the WO560's fit most bikes without changing cables. Can anyone verify that on the Superglide ?

Clutch Cable 62"
Throttle Cable 30"
Idle Cable 30"
Brake Line 44"
I don't know what the stock cable lengths are but you could go an inch or two over these lengths and still be OK. I wouldn't go any shorter than these except maybe the brake line. The 44" is just about perfect.
I REALLY like these bars! With the 12" apes I always felt like I was riding the bike by remote control. I'm a little over 6 foot and I don't feel cramped at all with the 14" of pullback. Maybe it's just my riding style.
I would think (with you at 5' 5") these would be a big improvement for you over the stock pullback.
I see that you're in Las Vegas - if you get out to the LA/OC area soon, come by and check out the fit on my bike.
