Rerouting clutch cable???????
I just installed road6 custom 10 inch monkey bars on my 07 street glide. I need to reroute the clutch cable. What end do I disconnect to reroute? Is there anything else I should no or do?
Thanks,
Brian

If you just installed the bars on your Street Glide you had to have had the lever end of the cable, the inner fairing, the outer fairing all apart,, right? Why would you want or need to take the trans. end off to simply reroute the cable? If you find the cable is short for your application & simply need a few more inches you may think about replacing the cable with a stock Crossbones cable from your dealer. I believe it will give you 3 or 4 additional inches & only costs about 40 bucks last time I bought one. You can keep the cable routing the way it came from the factory that way if you want to.
Hope that helps,
Dwayne

That makes sense. I juster wanted to make sure I was making the correct move. This is my first time installing bars and I wanted to be sure. I plan on rerouting the cable from the lever end tomorrow. If I feel that I need a longer cable I will purchase the one for the Crossbones or I can pick up on from Strokers.
Thanks for info.

just make sure that whatever you do- the clutch cable does not bind and allows easy and FULL movement of your bars.
we had a post a while ago from an owner who had a loop in the cable that wrapped around his turn signal and caused a crash.
clutch cable is more easily disconnected at the lever.

Route the cable under your stereo system behind the fairing, instead of behind and over the top. This will give you enough extra cable to keep it run out the original hole in the fairing dash.
