Default Does 69 seem right to you?
I'm installing Sweeper 2 + 2 on my 03 roadglide. I borrowed the measuring lines from the Harley dealership. The standard clutch is 62 inches but with the measuring line it looks like 69 3/4 inches. The new bars are about 2 inches higher and have 2 inches more pull back. I don't want to order the wrong clutch length.

The front brake line measured 30 inches to the center.
The throttle line was 43 1/4 with a small arc from the frame to the throttle handle.

Do you think these are normal length for bars that would add about 4 inches?

I did not need new cables with my Sweepers. At most, order 2" longer cables IMHO.

Might try a new title for better input next time. But I don't think you'll need much of an extension.

The clutch cable, if you're keeping the stock vinyl, get HD 38649-98.
