Rockah, in the img below. You can clearly see the mounting bolts you used for the street slammers. Where they bought separately, or were they included with the bars?
I have the bar I bought from a member here and was not supplied with any. I'm guessing the stock ones should be fine?
Also, since they're going on my Slim, do you suppose the stock cables would suffice?
Off 'o the seat pant examination, seems as though I should be fine ( he hopes )? I have the HD 4.5" pull back risers on there now, with the stock boulevard bars and there plenty to spare. Especially if I unhitch them.

I installed new chrome bolts with mine, but the stock bolts would have been fine. Before I installed the Wild 1 WO501 bars, I knew they had a 8" rise and 8" pullback, so I measured the stock bars to compare. They were about the same rise, but had 2" less pull back, so when I ordered from Magnum Shielding, I got the stock length + 2" for the new cables and brake line. You may be able to use your existing cables and line, if it's close and you have some slack in them...

Hi
I'm phil from the Reunion Island (Indian Ocean)

I made the following modifications :

S&S Cycle 583 Chain Drive Camshaft Kit 330-0106
S&S Cycle Hydraulic Tappets 33-5350
S&S Cycle Adjustable Pushrods Kit 93-5095
Spike Intake Air Cleaner
Cobra Speedster Exhaust Slash-Down

I contacted the guys of Vance by e-mail because by the phone my English is too weak
Their answers was :"We do not have a direct plug and play map option for that setup. It will require that you input the variables such as displacement, camshaft, injector flow rate. Once complete you will need to run multiple AutoTune sessions to hone the map in. We can assist you if you upload the map for the exhaust and intake first. "
Maybe you can send me your map as working base please ?

I noticed when I came home from a ride tonight that the brake light was stuck on. ...Turns out, the stop lamp switch that I just replaced a few monthes back, is defective!!
I tried to save a few bucks with the after market switch, (made in Taiwan) but I guess with these switches (like the 2 defective after market master cylinders I got back to back), you get what you pay for... , the OEM switch lasted 8+ years, so I guess I'll order one from HD. lol.

Great service (again) from Broadtracker Harley Online!! I ordered the stop lamp switch late Monday night, and it arrived early this morning (Thur).
I already swapped it out tonight, so now I'm legal again! lol... and I didn't even need to bleed the brakes!!
