Default Street Glide pull back handle bars

If I change over to the pull back bars that H-D offers, will I have to change any of the cables? H-D claims the bars come back 2 inches from the stock position.

Been looking at these bars and local dealer tells me that both throttle and clutch cables aren't long enough without binding or rubbing.

Do the wild ones require longer cables?

Also, do the Wild Ones interfere with the fairing mounted mirrors? I've heard from some that they do, and some that they don't. What the skinny, DI75?

I love them. Most of the 2" pullbacks get in the way of your fairing mounted mirrors, however that depends on your height, your seat height etc... As far as longer cables the answer is yes... Great time to add those braided lines..

Sales support at Wild1 suggested +4 on all the cables.

YES,all three cables will have to be changed.. But your HD dealer knows this
Good time to switch over to SS..... and you will need new hand gripes....

I just picked up a seat of these bars. Is 2" longer cables enough or do you really need 4" longer cables? Guess I will be getting braided cable too
