*UPDATED* FXR Forum

A lot of guys in the other FXR mentioned starting a new FXR page. This is my shot at it.

Question:

I am planning on running 10in Pull back Risers with a 2 in bar, What cables do you guys go with on your FXR's? Also for extending the gauge pods. Which cables?

Attached are my babes

If you're asking about cable brands, I went with Barnett when I put taller bars on my FLHTC. No complaints. For my brake lines, I went with Russell. Easiest thing to do on those is get your bars mocked up, then run some plastic tubing to determine the actual lengths you need.

For the switch gear, I just cut the wires, soldered in extensions, and shrink wrapped them.

Ive heard a lot of good things about Barnett. I believe them or someone out there make stainless steel versions as well. I never thought to use tubing. Thats genius. I am still learning the little stuff to make jobs easier. I didn't realize the speedo was that easy. Ill have to do that as well. Thank you for the response!

Is it a mechanical drive unit? If so, you'll possibly need a new cable.

Same technique applies: Get it mocked up then run tubing to see what length you need.

My plan is to use the stock speedo, if you look in the pictures there is an aftermarket speedo on it at the moment. I want to run the stock one taller.
