Default W/O 577 cable length
I plan on installing the 577 bagger bars soon. Was wondering what the best cable lengths are. I see some have used +6 and + 8 for the clutch, brake and throttle. I want to keep them in the original locations with no sharp bends etc. Also, I want to extend the wiring harness as well using the Namz kit, 8 0r 12 inch. lets hear what you used.........

Thanks

Used +6 on mine, fits like stock. However my bars are set as far forward as possible. If you are planning on pulling them back much then +8 may be the way go.

Thanks! Did you extend the switch harness or just relocate?

Just relocated the fairing side of the harness to underneath the radio. Been working fine.

Went with a +8 on clutch cable by Barnett on my 2010 FLHX with the same bars. I also pushed my bars as far forward as possible.

My buddy makes custom stainless brake lines and he made them for me. Look him up at www.h-e-lusa.com. He makes custom brake lines for anything but his specialty is motorcycles. Great customer service.

Streeter, I purchased the firm bushings directly from Wild 1's website.
