If you go to Wild 1's website and shoot them an email with what type bars you have and what year bike you have they will tell you what over stock length if any you need to go.

Your bike has some fairly long stuff standard heres the measurements:http://www.magnumshielding.com/store...2006&x=56&y=19

But it aint long enough to reach those wide *** Chubbys.

You will need all the cables and your wires are gonna end up a tad short....

My bike is torn down right now. I'm doing 12" narrow apes that are 31" tip to tip with 7" of pullback on a 1 3/4 riser and needed 33" on my throttle cables, 65" clutch and 47" on my brake.


I got slick and simply bought all the OEM cables off a fellow members Cross Bones! Cuz I'm tired of dropping money on glitzy SS cables. My new thought is cables shant even be noticed. They should be a non factor in the styling dept IMO. The simpler and less obtrusive? The better!!

There are several sets out there and unless you are wanting to do a set of fancy glitzy SS lines I would PM Xaullus or Jisham as they both have complete OEM bones sets.

Bones throttle cables are 34 3/4 and the clutch is 66 11/16's.

You cant use the bones front brake line as its a weird deal due to the caliper being mounted up high on the wheel and it falls short by a few inches.

Oops...Sorry for the ramble... Will you need wires and cables for the Chubbys? Heck Yes!! Measure first....Buy later!
