Default Street glide bars

Buddy of mine wants to try my factory bars on his road king, will they work since his king doesn't have throttle by wire? Any other differences to look at?

Of the top of my head, I don't foresee any issues. There would be going from his to yours.

They will work on his bike. If you tried taking his and putting them on yours...now that's a whole different story there!

Before you start- got a manual?

read up on shimming the front brake light switch- $60 to buy a replacement.
( trying to save the forums from another "changed bars, brake light and cruise control don't work" thread)
