Handlebars.. another one. 2007 Street Glide
Hi everyone. First time poster here. Long time reader. I have a 2007 Flhx street glide. In the middle of having my inner fairing painted, and doing bars at the same time. I've read atleast 20 handlebar threads but they are all over the place and seem to differ bike by bike. I'm about to order my bars while waiting on my inner fairing and debating on size.
I have already decided on LA Choppers Twin Peaks. I originally decided on 10" because I didn't want to extend all the cables and wires. I'm in Canada and the kits for the extended cables and wiring are $7-800 without the bars. Bars are another $400+.
After removing the inner fairing (not too bad about 45 minutes including outer) it looks like I can get tons of slack out of the clutch, brake and throttle cables just re-routing them outside of the fairing. I'm not concerned how it looks with the cables out of the fairing... especially if I can run 12-14" bars and save $7-800 on extended cables. I can extend the wiring myself (no tbw) or buy the harness extensions cheap.
My question is, has anybody with a 2007- been able to run 12 or 14" bars just by re routing the factory length cables outside the fairing?
Thanks in advance!
