Is the clutch cable 38649-08 the +4 on the cable?

When I added the 575's to my '08 Ultra, I used a +4" clutch cable so that I could run it in the stock location. I ran the wiring throgh the bars and didn't need any extentions, but did have to do a little bit of re-arranging inside the fairing so that everything would reach. Getting the wires run through the bars was lots of fun.

I was one of the rare and used the original cables. Yeah I had to reroute the clutch cable inside the fairing but have no issues.

+4 on the clutch, +2 on the brakes. You don't need to extend the control wires, but you certainly can if you want. Get the new twist grip sensor for internal wiring, you'll thank yourself for it later. If you have any desire to have heated grips, now's the time to do it, the twist-grip is prewired for them (the extra black & white wires). With the stock exhaust you don't have to touch the exhaust or the heat shields to change the clutch cable. If you're thinking about changing levers, now would be a good time.

Take your time, diagram the connectors before you take them apart. Take pictures.

I have a 09 SG with cruise and ABS. Had WO 575's installed by my local stealer. They said that they would let me know when they got into it if I needed any extended wiring, cables and/or brake lines. I got a call to say they were done and to come and pick up the bike. Well all they needed was a +4" clutch cable and only charged me 3 hours labor. I guess I can no longer call them "stealer" because they could have easily had said they needed all new wiring and a brake line as well. Total parts and labor bill was $552.00 plus tax. Pretty damn good deal considering I had my bike the next day. Oh by the way they said they were able to pull the wiring with the factory wiring protector still intact.
