Default Road king cable length

I have been looking at bars for my 2007 Road King, I have noticed alot of companies stop at 2006 and start again at 2008. Is there something special about the 2007 that I do not know? Is there something special in the wiring, throttle, clutch, brake lines, etc.? What size cable for the 16s?
Please help me figure this one out.

I never noticed that.
I put some tattoo'd bars on my King and never gave the year a second thought. They looked like they would fit the mount so I got them.

Try having an 01 and finding something you want and are comfortable with. Guess I will end up with Wild Ones but already have chromite cables so that is going to add to the cost by close to 200 bucks overall.

He knows what he's doing.... Just put in what bars you have and he will ship you the correct cables...

I am in the process of doing 14" apes (WO572's) on my 08 Road King... I couldn't be more pleased...

Install of my 16" PYO OEM Monkey Bars should be finished this afternoon. I got all the cables with the bars in the super size kit from Yaffe.
