How much additional length is needed for all of the braided cables after installing the bars?

RE: Handlebars for my Street Glide
I have the WO575 bars, absolutely the best mod I made to my bike. Dealer installed them due to a credit I had on hand, however, stock cables were used. They did charge me for wiring extensions, but I think they wanted to eat up another $15 of my credit.

You can get by with the stock cables (barely) by rerouting, but it won't look clean. I went with +4" on the clutch cable, and +2" on the upper brake line and throttle & idle cables. These lengths were perfect.

I think that you may be right about the dealer wanting to gouge you for the extra $15. On my Street Glide no wiring extensions were necessary - there was plenty of extra harness available. However, in defense of the dealer, your bike may be different since it's a Road King, but I doubt it.

Smeerdude,
I'm just north of you and I got mine from the factory in California last winter. Took about a week. Ask them to send it USPS air mail not UPS, then there should be no importer fees.
I have the fairing mount mirrors, i find they are blocked by my bars, but, have the bars all the way up.

Is this before or after the mirror relocation TSB?

I put chubby 575's on my SG. I changed out all the cables and brake lines with steel braided ones from Johnny. One thing about 575's on the SG, because of their width, your hands will block about 50% of the side mirrors veiw.

If I were to do it again, I would have installed all new braided lines and chrome controls while it was apart, JMHO.

Thanks guys, the dealer called and said they can get them, it will take about 7-10 days. I told them to go for it since i am only picking up the bike in April.

Service Bulleton for the Street Glides. It moves the mirrors up about an inch so that they can be adjusted correctly.
