Default Wanting to put Tbars on my 2010 Iron 883? help? tip?

hey whats up guys, pretty new here and i own a 2010 Iron 883, i got it last july and I'm wanting to change a few things but i need some intel from you guys if possible (positive + negative are welcome). So the westcoast T bars as they call it has been catching my eye but my question is, will i need to install extended clutch/brake cables? or anything else that i would need Oh, and im thinking about putting a 12inch t-bar.This is my bike as it stands today, I'm currently running z bars on my bike. Again any positive or neg feedbacks are welcome! thanks for your time guys.

Sorry ChillIron, I'm new on here too and just got my bike a week ago. Wish I could help you out. Got a question for you, how do you like the z bar and why are you going with the t bars, just curious if its an ergonomics thing or style?

btw
sweet bike you got there

i have 10inch apes and every thing BARELY reaches you will need a new brake line for sure. t bars would be narrower(sp) than mine so wiring might be ok. i thing the trottle cables would be ok, but not positive. pretty sure you will need a clutch cable for sure though.

With 12" T-Bars you will need Cables, brake line and wires.

I've done 8in risers on stock nightster bars with only a longer brake hose. There was enough wiring stuffed in the harness under the tank that some rerouting and zip tie cutting gave enough length. The clutch and throttle cables got rerouted and worked fine. This was on a 883C though which had those small buckhorns stock. Call WC T-Bars and ask, cant hurt.

Hey thanks for replying Jameson079, i actually enjoy the z bars but i dont know i guess I'm that kind of person that likes to try out new things when it catches it my eyes. and I'm doing this because for more style than ergonomics i would say because hopefully after i install my T-bars, I'm going to purchase HD quarter fairing.
