Default Any help with some Bars?

I just got my Khromewerks +2 sweepers in the mail. I am trying to figure out which longer clutch cable I need. Can anyone that has these give me any advice?

I put some Wild 1 bars on mine a while back and used a Harley 38649-08. It's similar to the stock clutch cable, but 4" longer.

There is a very detailed thread here on installing new +2 sweeper bars. If I remember correctly, the originator was Bertk. There is a wealth of information, experience, and knowledge in that thread. I got all the part numbers I needed (except the gasket for the right side transmission cover) from that thread.

Good luck!

If your new bars are just 2" over stock, you want need to extend your wires. Not sure if you need to extend anything with just 2" over.

You're going to need a +4 clutch cable.

Brake line, control, and TBW wires are all plenty long enough.

I am glad you quoted that part number, the Khromewerks website says that with these bars I would need that part # and the part number for TBW extension. I called Chicago Harley to order thar number and the guy said that was the stock cable. Must have gotten somebody just ready to go home on Friday.

AS stated +4 on clutch is all you need. I have those on my 08 Ultra. Everything else is just fine.
