Hi! I have been reading the information rich forums here for a little while and finally became a member. Thanks for all the information everyone has been sharing.
Can anyone tell me where the best place to buy the cables for the new bars I bought (WO509 WildONE Chubby's)? I have been looking around and cant seem to decide. I was told I need 10" on the brake, throttle and idle cables and 8" on the clutch. I went to hdbikeparts.com and it looked like i was going to have to pay $300+ dollars for the cables which is twice what i paid for the bars.
Thanks again!

These bars are for a 2002 RoadKing/FLHR/Carburated/Dual Front Disc Brakes
+1 on Johnny Vaughn. (hdbikeparts.com)
I believe I was almost $200 for the bars and $300 for the cables. Chrome controls, switch covers and levers on top of that again.
Comfortably Numb thank you for the information that is where I am looking currently hdbikeparts/johnny vaughn... looks like I may be stuck paying that amount to get going!
Get his phone # off the website, or shoot him an E-mail and get ahold of Johnny in person. You'll get that whole story. Him and I spoke a number of times prior to getting my bars and cables.
