Default THrottle/idle cables

2006 ultra classic EFI. I extended my handlebars from 8's to 10's....now I need a Idle cable with cruise control but Everywhere I see they don't have vinyl with +4...does anyone know how I can extend by Idle with cruise cable? Also I need to extend my clutch cable I guess +2 to make it work ok? Any ideas on the stock length so I don't have to take it off before to measure it?

For the clutch cable, get the HD 38649-98 cable that is used for sidecar models, it’s slightly longer.

HERE is an idle cable that will work for you. It’s the 56730-03 cable that is obsolete now. That’s what I had used on my 04 when I changed bars.

This cable doesn't look like a cruise cable

Shows as fitting the ultras so I’m pretty sure it has the cruise roll off switch. Should double check though

Hill Country Custom Cycles should have them. That is what I put on my 2003 Ultra Classic. Give them a ring and they will set you up. https://hillcountrycustomcycles.com/...ng-cables.html

I used the Motion Pro throttle and idle cables. They do have the cruise bulb sensor thing.
