I know this has been asked to death and I looked at older post but I am going to order a set of bars today for the fat boy. What brands are out there? I want the 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 style with the built in risers and just how bad of a job is it to install these with the wires hidden in the bars. Just looking for info before I start this project. I saw that the Wild One brand can use stock cables and I really want to go that route. Just how big of a riser can I go before new cables are needed?
Any tips would be great.
Thanks

 

I just finished putting 10" T-bars on my 2004 softail. I did not need to change any standard cables . I did however but only because i wanted braides cables and in the process o i ordered standard lengths no issues at all.

1) I love them they are reall comfortable but i am not a tall guy either 5'7"
2) I ordered mine prewired from Hill County Customs no so good customer services but great great product easy to fit the wires into my deutch connector and it rides likea charm now.
I had done my previous drag bar wiring myself and hated it it's a not worth the hassle considering the price of a pre wired set.

One thing to consider if you get bigger drag bars. The risers on mine are rubber mounted and i still used them with integarted risers on my t-bars with no issues. No with big apes or reall big drags rubbers mounts under the risers can give an un pleasent " rubbery" feel to your handle bars. So if you go bigger you might want to consider rigid mounts on to the triple trees.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I did not know you could get them pre-wired.
