Default 16" Chubbys

Guys, putting 16" Wild1 Chubbys on a 08 FXSTC. Anyone have experience with that and what cable lengths did you use? Also, where is a good source outside of harley to get risers that work with these bars(the two clamp stock risers on the custom don't work)? Appreciate any help anyone can give me.

I just put 16" bars on my bike. Went through an independant dealer for all the parts. The front brake cable is 56" A little long, but it still works great.
I think a 54" would work the best. Depends on the size of youre risers. Mine are 2".

The clutch cable is: 75"
and the Throttle cables are: 46"

These are all on an 06 night train. Should be roughly the same for you.

Just my .02 but from my experience I would mock up the bars when you get them and then measure for the cables. I took an educated guess and measured of another bike. Ended up back at the dealer three times to get the right lengths. I will take longer but will look much better in the long run. Good luck.

I have 1.5' carlini apes on my bike, they are 41' wide so a lil wider than most. I went with +10 on everything and they fit great, not too loose or too tight. Oh, 1.5' risers by the way.
