Question Question on changing bars

I have a 2009 Night train, and my buddy just purchased a 2010 Rocker C... I want to get some ape hangers, and he wants to get some drag bars. So what I was thinking about doing was selling the drag bars off my train to him... The question is, would he be able to just take everything off the train and put it on the rocker as is, or would he have to buy new cables or anything? Thanks.

I can't picture the nightrain bars at the moment. It depends on the position of the controls as to weather or not he will need different cables, but I wouldn't think so. Being that rockers (and I assume your bike) have internal wiring he/you will need to get an electrical pin tool to get the connectors apart. It's much cleaner that just cutting the wires and splicing them together.

These are 8in rise and 8in pullback and the stock length cables work perfectly.

It might work since the stock bars on Rockers are basically drag bars. And if it doesn't there's alot of forum members here in Hawaii willing to help him spend his money trying to find the perfect bars
