Two questions:
1. 2011 FXDC - bought street bob handlebars and want to know if I need to switch cables. The rise is only 8.75" compared to 5.25" on the buckhorns, according to harley specs. The stock cables on the FXDC are longer than on the Street Bob. Parts guy and I walked through it becasuse there was a Dyna on the floor. I've read in some placaes you have to switch the cables, and othere you didn't?
2. How long does it take to install forward controls? Parts guy told me two hours, service told me 4.5 hours? Thanks!
Just put forewards on my 09 fxd and took about an hour. Super easy, though i didn't remove primaries and left the mi-shaft in place. For now i just tucked the mid-shifter behind the engine bolt as others have done. This is probably one of the easiest things you can do to your bike

Secound that took no time at all! cables should be fine added 4 inch risers to mine no changing of cables.
They told me primary has to come off for 2011? I understan d the bars are easy to do , loosen controls and pop them off/on. going to add new grips as well.

They (being the Harley dealership) told me the same thing about my 2007 FXD. I installed them myself in less than 2 hours, taking my time, kicking back, drinking a few beers and enjoying the weather in my backyard.
I left the shifter's splined shaft in place for now, covered with the supplied cap, but could have removed it without removing the primary case, with a hacksaw, if I wanted to.
