Just hold on to them for the next guy who buys 16"'s. I'll be it won't be too long till someone needs them. We sell a ton of magnums and don't take returns on them due to that restock fee.

Just send an e-mail to Wild 1. When I got my bars from them (12.5" Chubbys) they told me exactly what I needed for my Heritage... +4" on the clutch and +6" for the throttle, idle and brake. Also 12" wire harness extension.

+4 on the clutch? Wow, do you have enough on the clutch cable for travel? When I look at the bars mocked up on my bike and have them set at 12 o'clock and they just seem like I would need more then +4 on the clutch. Im just afraid of making the same mistake again when ordring the cables. Thanks for the info.

Worked out absolutely perfect. Don't forget, these numbers are over "stock" cable length. The Heritage stock bars are taller (more rise)than a Deluxes stock bars. Maybe thats the difference. Ex...they told me if I went Baby Apes (8.5") I wouldn't need longer cables but your Deluxe stock cables might not be long enough for even that 8.5" rise (Thats the rise of my 07 stock bars) Like I said, the numbers came directly from Wild 1. Here's a pic......Hope some of this helps. (all Barnetts cables)

I went with +6 for my 14" Burly narrow bars with 2 inch risers. The brake cable is the only one I had an issue with. I needed the 35 degree bend at the bars for +6 to work. With the greater pullback the Wild One's have, the +6 should work fine with your 12.5" bars.
