I recently upgraded to a Mustang Regal seat, and it is wonderful, and as expected, it set me back about an inch and a half... but it also raised me an inch or so, and now my stock bars are too low...

I was reading up, and noticing that everyone is wiring internally... it has me puzzled... is this for visual/aesthetic reasons? I don't mind my cables outside the bar, and don't have any intention of wiring them internally...

That said, I have been interested in the Klock Werks Back bars.. but again, not interested in internally wiring, so are any new cables necessary??

(Kind of ticks me off I have to buy a new set of Kury grips, but so be it...)

 

I think you can go up to a 10" ape bar with factory wiring.. many on this forum have done so. Internal wiring gives the handle bars a "clean" look but its your bike my friend... Make it your own...different from any other bike

 

Ok, good to know there isn't a technical reason people are internally wiring...

I guess I'm getting some new cables too, since the KW Back bars are 12"...

Thanks!!!

 

Anyone know if these cables would be the correct kit

 

Cant tell what your riding from my phone but that kit seems a bit high for just a clutch and brakeline cable extension...you may be better off buying them separarely....what are you riding if you dont mind saying?

 

The later model touring Harley's have a TBW and I think has to have internal wiring. At least on the throttle side.

 

I'm the OP... 2011 FLHTC..

 

I just installed the Khrome werks 2+2 sweepers on my 2006 Street Glide. I had to go with a +4 clutch cable and +4 front brake line. I installed mine and left the wires external. I have read some members that did not have to extend their brake line. I guess each bike is different.

 

I ordered the ones from my link above. They're for 12-14"-ers... they should work if the stockers don't. The KW site says they do fit with the stock cables, we'll see.

 

This is correct the TBW needs to be wired internally........

So most folks just do it all since you're gonna be running wires inside anyways, looks much cleaner too.......
