Default Need some help on 12" tbars

Alright. So i have my tbars ordered for my 06 super glide. I know i need 3" over stock brake, clutch and throttle cables. But those were hard to find, an i can get them in 6over from jpcycles. No biggy.
Now my question is. Where can i find the speedo cable wiring? Jpcycles doesnt have any!

What do i need? Just some extra wires? I can cut an soder if needed.
Or do i need something else?

Any and all help would be great! I need to order asap!!

They have mounts for the speedos that can be mounted the the riser portion of the tbars. Or, bungs can be welded to them to mount it. Either option uses the original top clamp housing.

do the mounts on jp cycles to mount the speedo work with the stock speedo?

I wasnt,haven't found a clip in speedo extention listed to the main stream if your looking to mount them to the top of the bar. Maybe try San Diego customs..........
​​​​. If you want to mount them to the riser section, you have the likes of acutronix, and a few others as a bolt on mount.
. Heard of using clutch cable mounts, for the frugal people. Haven't confirmed the fit myself,but looks promising.

. I just went threw the cable thing, 3 over cables 35.5 lenth, are on back order for most places. Cycledirect got me a pair of motion pro throttle cables.

clutch cable, have you tried or looked in to rerouting it,bringing it along the frame vs crossing over under, then crossing it over at the neck area.....just saying as its what I did

​​​​​​​ brakeline, dose need to be replaced. If you get creative in your routing, you can make the line connect point a to b, but its ghetto and you lose the lower mount at the lower triple tree. Creative thoughts with your safety in mind can make it a temp thing.

I added an extra 6" to my speedo wiring. If you remove your seat and look in the battery compartment you'll see the speedo wiring plug. If I remember correctly it's an orange square shape. Remove the rear gas tank bolt, loosen the front tank bolt and you can lift up the rear of the tank. Put a piece of 2x4 to hold up the rear and you can see where the speedo wire goes. On my 03 it runs along the outside of the frame and is secured by small cable ties. I cut the ties and after disconnecting the orange plug I cut the wire and spliced in my extra piece. The wiring is approx. 16 or 18 guage and again if I remember correctly there are 3 wires. Of course you can make the length whatever you want, good luck...b.
