It only took about an hour or so to get the wires pulled. The guy who said he used the stock cables is full of ****, EVERYTHING had to be 4" longer.

I went with Barnett braided throttle/idel and clutch cables (made in USA) not the crap that HD sells (made by motion pro in china). For the wires, i ordered from Namz in PA.

It was a pretty tough job for a shade tree mechanic like me.

A word of advice, make sure that you have ALL the pieces before you get started.
Don't forget that on your bars from the center on the bottom they come back and then up.... On the bars for the road glide they just come straight up....

Very very nice. Thanks for the pics.

Am I correct in thinking the Road Glide bars are the same as the Road King bars? I'm wondering if I'm going to need longer wires too.
