2008 Road King Touring Handlebars
I just bought some 1 1/4- 12 1/2 inch Wild 1 chubby handlebars. Anyone know if I’m going to to have to get the cabl kit or would the stock cables fit? Also what brand of cables do you suggest. Thanks

I think you'll probably need cables, but follow Veekness's advice, as width & pullback are determining factors too. I guess the brand of cables would depend on what "look" you're interested in.

which bars? I did 518s on my 2000 RK. Hadda go to a 3" over clutch cable, and I already had 2" over throttle cables and front brake lines. If I was starting from scratch, I'd do 3 or 4 over throttle and brake. My throttle and brake run straight down to the headlight cowl. If ya want them to be tight to the bars, then 4" over.

An easy way to determine what length you will need and get pretty precise is to use string and measure for each cable. As far as cable manufacturers I like Magnum Shielding as they hold up very well. Pretty sure by 08 they already did but make certain you use the one piece top clamp for the bars.
