Well, on my '07 SG there was no slack to take out, believe me I tried. The SG Clutch control angles the cable more to a 90 degree angle on the Ergo bar. I needed more cable to allow a smooth turn going into the fairing gromett. Even with the 6" over it is still a tight turn back into the fairing. As for the brake line, it is a one piece fabricated unit and the top piece is hard pipe. The angle is quite a bit different from stock. I did not want to risk bending the pipe to fit. Don't fancy finding out it is overstressed when the brakes fail and I end up in a guard rail. I installed Russel lines, Banjos, and the compensator valve unit. The cables are no problem, unless you want to run them through the bars.......Deutch connectors F#*^*#!!!!!! One day I will learn the trick for getting these things apart without destroying the pins.
So for me, the small job turned into a much larger one and cost more than I expected. Oh well.

09 Street Glide Handlebar change
Does anyone have the instructions to change the handlebars out? I am going to do it myself, I just didn't know if there was anything special I should know about before I get started. If anyone ran into problems please let me know. I have the stock 09 FLHX bars on there now and will be switching to Yaffee 13" Bars I have ABS, Cruise Control and Radio. I have bought the Extended Plug and play wire bundles for everything to include extended Clutch and ABS break lines. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
