Default 10" Lick Z Bars Cable Question
I am looking to put some 10" Licks Z Bars on my 2014 48. I have searched and found a few conflicting answers, so figured I would just ask. Anyone have these installed and know if all stock cables and brake line can be used with these bars?

Thanks for any help.

I got 10" licks z bars on my 09 iron. Brake line needs to be changed as well as wires extended. Clutch, throttle, and idle cables are all long enough

My buddy installed them on his Nightster and i think he needed to replace the brake or clutch cable but just one of them. Ask the guys at Licks.

I have them on my VRSC but that won't help you...

Thanks for the responses guys. Pretty new to to all this in general, any suggestion on buying the brake line and wire extension? Lick's only sells the full kit which includes throttle, clutch, and idle cables.

I put 8" Chumps with a 2" rise on my Iron. Had to get a new brake line and extend the control wiring. Throttle and clutch are fine.

Do you remember/know what length break line you needed?

I bought the 6ft line and cut it at about 45-46 inches.

I want to say it was around 44 inches but not 100% sure
