Just so you know............. This
is a 2007 "road glird"..............................I think you mean "road glide" you may need to find a different forum if you need info on a "glird"

well, according to their website:

CHUBBYÂŽ R.G. BARS
PART # W0517

Sensational 1 1/4" thick customs for the Road Glide. Designed for maximum comfort and control. They are 31.0" wide, with a 14.5" pullback and 8.5" end rise. They work with the stock Controls, Grips, Cables, Brake Line & Wiring.

I have the 517's, and they will work with stock cables. However, you have to re-route the clutch cable and straighten out the hard brakeline and pull some slack out from under the instrument cluster. I didn't like that, so I replaced my cables with braided SS lines from Barnett. I got +6 clutch and throttle/idle and +4 brake lines.

hey
thanks guys, today i used a piece of wire and came up with a 5 in # that will work for me. i have abs on it and the front brake cable does not go to the front!! it goes to the as modular under the right side , cover. it is flex, hard piped and flex to the modular.
harley does not make it yet! i went to a custom guy buy me and he is going to have it made up for me. i dont think after mounting these bars the stock cables work. i do know that the control wires work on the 08 s for the criuse radio etc, but you mite want to extend the wires for the throttle. i called namz and they sent me an 8 in kit t worked great!!

thanks cb
