I have a 2012 road king and would like to put beach bars on my bike. I am wondering if i need to buy longer cables

I used Burly Beach Bars on my Limited. The site said no need to change cables but I had to get a longer clutch cable for mine. Wiring and Brake Line was long enough. FBW throttle fit fine. Always have liked Beach Bars for comfort and control.

I have the RK II beach bars (forget what brand they are) and it was tight but I did not need to get any extended cables/lines. There is no pulling/hanging while turning.

Im running the HD beach bar kit. My stock cables were fine but the kit came with an electrical extension that was about 6 inches. You may or may not need it. Mine did.

Nice bike, can you tell me what air cleaner cover you are running and where did you get it?

Thanks for the compliment!! Its a Ness Big Sucker II with a vintage style cover. You run this and exhaust and you will need a tuner. Mine leaned out big time with this addition! Just an FYI from my experience. Additional costs.....ya gotta love it!! LOL!!

I changed out my stock bars to Wild 1 beach bars on my RK Custom....don't recall the model number...sorry. Didn't have to change cables or wiring, but the wiring was a bit close. No issues however, and love the bars. Been on there 3 years or so and wouldn't consider anything else.
