Default Wild1 Chubby 551's

I'm looking to put a set of Wild1 551 Beachbars on my Deluxe. I was wondering if anyone else has these on there bike. And what size riser there using.

First of all you need the 550's. The 551 is for spingers, and if you go with the 550 then us 1.5" risers. Wild 1 has them and they look great. Also if you change your risers from stock then you will need to go with a top calmp that fits the risers.

will the clutch, break line, and throttle cables need to be replaced if the 551's are installed on a Springer? does anyone have a link to pictures of a Springer with these installed?
