either of you install them yet? Did you need to extend your cables?

so all my wires were fine. im on a 2015 xl883n with NO abs. see my youtube video of it here:

i didnt extend anything. all electric was fine. the brake line was re-routed that i am changing soon and routing correctly. throttle cable worked but it made my throttle stick.

I don't think I would trust that brake line long-term. If there's one thing on your bike you don't want to have jury rigged it's the front brake set-up IMO.

yeah it pinched when i made left turns. had it on since september and put everything back to stock. just waiting on that new brake line now. did 5000 miles without a problem, but i rather air on the side of caution.
