Anyone know what part numbers are needed for a +4 Clutch and Upper ABS line for a '12 Street Glide? Just looking for the plane black cable/line. Nothing fancy.
I did the same thing in +6 for my 12 flhx with abs, worked out well. The catalog at the HS shop shows the cables and brake lines by +4, +6 etc. I don't have the numbers but I know they have an online catalog.

How tall are the bars you put on? I looked at the DS on line catalog and couldn't make heads or tail of the cables. They were listed by length not +4, +6 and what not.
Beware of drag specialties clutch cables, the factory cable has a heat sleeve on it and the drag cables do not. I did mine and assumed it must be ok if they did not use the shielding, got home from a long trip and smell burning gear oil, yep cable melted by the exhaust at the trans end. solution was to find a heat sleeve from a race shop and put it on the second cable.

I put Wild 1's 577's that say are 12.5's but a bunch of people on this site say are closer to most other brands 14's. The actual book catalog in the HD shop had a section that showed the + numbers.
Barnett clutch cable black +4 101-30-10046 looks to be good cable comes with heat shielding near trans. Russell makes upper ABS brake cable in black +4 part number R08965BC. If your doing 10-11" bars you probably don't need brake cable and if your doing 12" bars I'd go at least +6 on clutch.

Thanks for the part numbers. I'm going with HD Batwing apes. The book says the are 12" but others say they are more like 10". I've seen some say you needed new stuff and others you didn't. But I don't want the cables looking all ghetto routed outside the fairing.
You'll need longer clutch cable for sure. The brake line is borderline but on Yaffe 10" MBB I didn't need a new brake line and it looks fine. My Yaffe bars are more like 11" in reality. Good luck with it!

Thanks. Hopefully I don't have to swap out the brake line. They are a PITA. I'm swapping all the chrome on the motor to wrinkle black so no big deal on the clutch cable as the side cover is coming off anyway.
Did you have to re-route the brake line to get it to work or was there some slack in it?
