Default New Bars / Cable Lengths

With so many of these threads around here, how about if we start a thread that is ONLY for people to post what they have installed. Not requests for "what would work with my FL****?" or "Did you have to take off the exhaust". Blah Blah... I think I saw this over on the Sportster section a while back, seems like it may become a useful tool for people.

Make it standard:

Bike: Year, Model
Bars: Brand, Height, Width, Pullback
Risers: Height / Pullback
Clutch, Brake, Throttle/Idle Lengths
Electrical Extensions


So for me:

Bike: 2010 Fatboy Lo
Bars: LA Choppers, 13", 36.5", 8"
Risers: Stock (1.5")
Clutch = 70 11/16", Brake = 50", T/I = 37"
Electrical = +8"
 

Last edited by bauer4567; Feb 19, 2012 at 07:07 PM. Reason: Add brand to bars... fair enough. Wire Extensions?

Default Beach bars

Eric2011Deluxe

Did you have the WO550 beach bars? I couldn't find a Wild One beach bar with a 12.5" pullback.

Thanks

Not to hijack your thread, but how does your clutch cable fit without being way too long? On 16" bars, my clutch cable is only 70-11/16". My first clutch cable was 2" longer against my recommendations to the seller, and it was way too long. My bars are 36" wide with an 8.5" pullback. Just curious.

Just went out and measured it all. Stock was 65" and what I have on there now measured out to be 70". Looking back at magnum's website, it is the item number for the +6", so it would actually be 70 11/16"... Got the +10" from my invoice I have in my email... it shows Chromite Black Pearl - Custom 10, so I was just adding 10 to the stock length...

Anyway, bad start to the plan here with this thread! But I think it will cut down on repeat threads if everyone chips in. Thanks for the correction FXB.
