Picked up a Midnight Blue 2019 Fat Boy 114 today, and I must immediately change way too low bars. I'm a big fan of drag bars, so I'm going to go with some Wild1's. My question is how tall can I go with the stock wiring? Brake line has a nice loop of extra line, so that looks like it'll handle my usual bar size, which is 8" rise. I think pull back bars will look better on this model then straight bars. I have to look around at some photos.

Really just want to confirm that the wiring in the bars will handle it. I didn't have any problem with my Low Rider or Road Glide (now sold/traded) but this is my first Softail, so I don't know how much cable they give you. I have to pick up a service manual as well of course.

If anyone who's changed their bars on a new model can let me know how much slack they give you, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks. Here she is: (yes, I know the reflectors need to come off!)



I've also got SE slip on's and a SE tuner (damn EPA!) on order which I'll suffer with for a year or so until I'm sure no major motor issues occur, then I'll throw my warranty out the window and get some real pipes, a Power Vision and a dyno tune.

 

Since no one had an answer, I'll answer my own question before I unsub (cleaning up my many subscribed theads) Maybe it'll help someone.

Wild1 WO501 8" rise pull back T bars fit with the only modification being the release of the brake line clamp on the fork. All internal wires and clutch cable just made it. Any longer and you'd need to extend everything.
