well right now I'm going to run with the 515's......I like the Heritage bars I have now, no probs at all,,just want to try out higher bars. Should I get cables that are long enuff for the 12.5" just in case?
did you have to get longer cables, since I have the hydraulic clutch I am wondering. thanks alot lp....nice ride, is that a WinDvest windshield? 12 or 14" and how tall are you BTW.

I will one day switch this out to a +2 or +4 Cable.
The Brake was long enough but I don't like the curve to it and since I have ABS it's going to be expensive changing it... One day...
Here is a pic of where I relocated the clutch cable. Works fine this way. Just doesn't look all that great.
Thanks for all the positive comments BTW.

I just put the 10" wildones on my 2009 Road King classic. Did not need to change cables but did need to extend the wiring. I purchased the wire extension kit from drag specialties and it was nice because all the wires have the connectors on each end, wires are color coded and comes with the shrink tubing. I'll have to admit I thought the 10" were going to be a bit bigger than what they were I'm 5'10". I still love the bars though great improvement over the stock bars. If you had the heritage bars on yours already I would go with the 12.5". Tot me the 10" are no different than the heritage bars I see on a stock bike at the Harley Dealer. Hope this helps.
