I had already moved my gauges so I can't tell you for sure... but I don't see why they wouldn't fit

Coooool, Ive been wondering what I will do when i get taller bars. I was gonna just bend the existing line and make a new one later down the road. 60 bucks isnt bad at all....and the stainless upgrade

The stock wires all worked ? And did you run them internally ? My bar have 10 inch rise 30.5 width and very little pull back .. I mocke it up yesterday and didn't seem like any wires would make it and clutch cable made it but looked retarded the way I had to run it ... Btw it's a 2010 iron ... Thanks for any info

Yes, all the stock wires will work other than the brake line. My wires are not wired internally. All you need to do is cut a few wire tyes to get some extra length. Your throttle cables that run along the left side of the gas tank you might have to move. They run under the front tank mount bolt. I moved mine up over the front tank mount to gain some extra length. The BYO brake line from magnum shielding is part #496190a. Oh and I cut it down to about 45" not 32!

Ok thanks ! I callEd magnum last month and they said they were so backed up with the build your own brake line kits they were only selling to drag specialities until those orders have been filled ! But you think the stock wires will fit Internally with some finagling ??
