Ha! I forgot to ask what difference in my stock cables...I ordered the black diamond cables for eye candy without thinking about that. Keep in mind my new cables does have a bit of slack and probably can get away with a couple inches off.

GL man...looking forward to pics.

I measured my stock clutch and throttle cables and came up about the same. I'd be new cables for the bling factor in stainless if I go this route. It all depends on if I enjoy the 14" gangsters or not.

Thanks again for your help Jose

Pm coming back
Dude if you find you like the 14s and wanna sell the freeways, I'm interested. Did you find those on an Ebay store or private ebay seller? They look bad *** on Josey's Lo. I have the same bike and I'm looking at these. Thanks much for any info.

I found em on eBay, I just typed in carlini and they came up. I like the looks, a lot and wouldn't mind running them so I can use my shields again. But if the 14s work I'm sticking with em. I have little faith that they will though.

Ill let you know what I decide though.

Cool thanks. I ride to San Diego and back frequently and the stock bars are fine but I dig the looks of those freeway bars on the Carlini website.

Thank man.

Jim's is what got me in this mess heh. I didn't want to copy him him, but his bike made me stick to cruiser look and become creative. His was definitely an inspiration.

Soon as I seen the freeways on the carlini site....that was the quickest mod decision I made. And best mod so far. The bars owns 360 gusts and style that's for the cruiser theme.
