RE: Installing handlebars on 08 Ultra
Just got off the phone w/ local HD. Apparently, HD doesn't plan to offer longer front brake line for ABS or longer electronic throttle until
possiblly next year. Any suggestions where I can pick these up? Thanks

RE: Installing handlebars on 08 Ultra
There is a vendor that sells a kit that includes a longer clutch cable and upper front brake line for the 2008. I just can't find the link in my treasure chest of favorites... I'll keep looking.

RE: Installing handlebars on 08 Ultra
Thanks Bill and Tim. Site has been very helpful. I finally got the pipes loosened enough to remove the tranny cover. Moved the
brake line over, not much bend but picked up 3-4". Receive my bars on Monday.
I have one question. How do you get the electronic throttle cable out of the std. bars??

First of all, thanks for the replies. Here are a few replies and ?'s I still have.
1. The part # for the Flanders Handle is #650-282725. Ordered from Dennis Kirk.
Jhill:
1. What did you use to cut in the notches at the end of your handles for the throttle
2. How did you get the Electronic Throttle wiring out of the std bars. I disconnected the
the wire harness from inside the fairing, and it looks like there isa smaller harness at the
end, however I can't seem to pull it off. If I could, I could pull through the bars.
3. Any tricks to pulling off the pipes to get to the tranny for the clutch cable.
4. Beginner ?: Do I need to drain anything before I open the tranny cover to install the
new cable?
Lots of ?'s...I sure appreciate the help. I pulled the radio and bars out last night. Feel like
I'm 1/2 way home and so far it feeels gooood.

Now when you open the transmission side cover, you won't loose any oil.

RE: Installing handlebars on 08 Ultra
Thanks Wally. After I loosened up the pipes and the two really difficult to-get-to bolts (wife helped) on the tranny cover I decided to
put off pulling the cover until I get the new clutch cable. So I will follow your suggestion so I don't have to drain
the tranny.

According to the service manual of my 08 Ultra, you unplug the connection in the fairing. Then pull the controller from the end of the handle bar while feeding the slack up from the bottom of the bar till you can see the in line plug at the controller end. Then unplug there and pull that plug back through at the hole in the lower end of the bar. It is supposed to be small enough to fit out. You can buy an extension wire with the proper plugs to add length to that line when you reinstall on a longer bar.
