Wild Chubby's...???'s
 

Bought a set of W0517 for my Roadie - Although, the web site says no cable changes needed I ave been told the brake cable WILL NOT reach - anyone else who has changed out to these no anything about it...???

You should be able to make brake cable reach if you carefully bend the line,ive known several people that did that,me I like braided cables cost about $130 but they look good...

I just sent the bars off to be powder coated (black) -

But my wrench (not a Harley dealer wrench) said hehas changed them out before and needs to buy and make a longer brake cable - He told me he has had technical conversations with Wild1 about this very topic - ???

I have Wildchubby's on mine, but braided steel cables went on as well. Mine are not your model, however.

I will recommend Shooter64. He is a member on this forum and he has good prices. My cables arrived today.

2nd I am installing Chubby's on my bike and I WOULD NOT take Chubby's word for the cable length. Mount your bars and measure. This topic was discussed a while back and 1 person ordered a cable that was too short (listening to Chubby), and 1 person had a cable that was such a tight fit that it broke after 1 year. Chubby told me I needed a +4 Idle and a member on this forum said he need a +8 (we had the same set up). I decided to measure and I needed a +8. Better safe than sorry! Mount and measure.

I put the 517's on my 04' RG, and all of the stock cables fit. You will have to straighten out (bend) the brake line to make it work. I didn't like that, so I put braided lines on. Iused +6 clutch, throttle, and idle cables, and +4 brake line. My clutch cable is a little long, you could probably use a +4 for it also. Having the wiring inside the bars makes it alot cleaner!:D

Put WO517's on my RG without changing the cables or lines... But had to do some creative bending on the front master line... But it worked...

RE: Wild Chubby's...???'s
 

I have a Tech telling me there is NO WAY these bars can go on without changing the cables. He's also telling me it will cost about $600 to do the job - $200 to make the cables HUH???[:o] and $400 in labor costs...I am really, really, really bullshit about this as I bought these "F-ing" bars in good faith based upon the Wild 1 website claiming no cable changes are needed WTF!!![:@] Here is the AD taken directly from their website ...

FYI - Update... I spoke to the GM of Wild1's (Chubby's) today 05/10/2007 - He told me that the owner of the Company was supposed to change the language in the AD to reflect "May need to change cables" However, after I pointed out to him that it wasn't changed as of today's date and when I purchased the bars a month ago (and he could clearly see that) - he agreed to refund all of my money plus shipping and take the bars back -
