Thanks man!

I have never heard of glue less grips. Lol My grip does lock into the clutch and switch housing and can't slide without the whole housing moving around. Would that be those type of grips?

 

I was able to measure the best I could and went +2 on the clutch cable and +4 on the throttle/idle cables and brake line. Like I said in the post on the last page, they may be a little long but I didn't want to chance them still being too short. The Indy guy I go to said he would do what I did also. Crappy thing is I have to wait until next weekend to install them. I could probably ride it now but I would cringe anytime I turned the wheel.

 

Yes. The housing locks it in. Good job so far. Any updated pics?

 

Ah ha! Thanks...that's exactly what it does. I never knew I didn't have to use glue because of that. I learn something new everyday on this forum.

I will have some updated pics this weekend but they will still have the stock cables on them. Then....hopefully next weekend I can take on the task of putting on all the Chromite II cables.....more research on installing all that now. Lol

 

You can likely unbolt your clutch release cover with an allan key and ratchet with an allan bit. I was able to remove mine without having to remove the exhaust (V&H BR 2-2). Took a bit of time to remove the cover though.

 

I am going to remove the exhaust, it will make it much easier for me and it doesn't seem like the exhaust is very hard to remove. Also, my cables wont be in until mid week so I can spend this weekend taking all the ones ones off then I will only have to install the new ones and be ready to rock. Also, I have V&H BSS and the top pipe goes right in front of the clutch release cover.

 

The BRs do also, and you can barely see my cover, but I did it. Wrench between pipes haha!

 

I put everything back on, only took about 10 minutes. My switch housing wires are not connected though (see other thread here ... https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...extension.html ) and the old stock cables are a tight fit... the brake line is unbolted from both mounts in order for me it to reach my bars.

I just rolled the bike out to take some updated pics. I LOVE THE OUTLAWZ CHUBBY BARS!!! They look so good the way they follow the lines of the forks and then break off. They are also as (or more) comfortable than my stock bars were... plus the wiring is all cleaned up. Once I get the Magnum Shielding Chromite II cables on, it's going to look sweet!

I also have a used TRI BAR LED Tailight that should deliver tomorrow (thanks sagebrush1976!)... it will give me something to install while waiting on my cables. lol I am worried about installing the cables but I figure if I can do this much, I can take on the cables now.

Here are some pics with the new bars and old cables (notice how tight the cables are). lol

 

How did you torque it back to spec though?

 

With over 30 yrs of wrenching lol! I use tq wrench where possible, but not on the small stuff - usually snug +1/6 to 1/3 turn depending on the fastener size. Bars look great, keep it up!
