Hey guys. I just finalized a deal on a 05 E Glide, that will be used when on vacation and my wife does not want to ride solo.

How tall of bars can I fit and still use the stock cables?

Thanks. Brad

You'd rather keep the (hideously ugly) stock cables than be comfortable?

I never understood this thinking....

Common question, be it forum, bar, shop, wherever. Again, don't skimp on price of cables to fit the bars. Get the bars that are good for you and cables to go along, preferably Magnum Shielding. The price of the combination to be comfortable is priceless.
