TN HERITAGE,
Are your new bars chrome or stainless? Do you by any chance have any pictures you could post of your new setup? Sounds like exactly what I want to do to my Street Glide.
Thanks,
Doug

I just put a set of Wild1 Chubbies (5058) on my RK. I absolutely love them. I am 5'9" and always felt like I was humped over the bike reaching for the bars, along with the neck pain and hand numbness. I sit up straight now. The bars are nice and fat and are finished in showcrome instead of s/s. The nice thing is they look like they belong there, kind of old school stock looking. I ran the electricals through the bars. It was a tight fit, but no extensions needed. They advertise that you can use your stock cables. Because these bars come back another 2" to 3", I replaced all my cables with 2" over braided s/s. Looks awesome. The entire job took me about 12 hours on and off, but I am not a wrench. here is a pic. It was taken at dusk so it may not look all that great.
