Default 2" Pullbacks

Question for the guys that changed to the 2" HD pullbacks and did not change the clutch cable. How did you reroute it? I am changing my stock bars and would appreciate any info.

Instead of bringing the cable through the hole in the inner fairing, you would route it up between the inner fairing and the gas tank.
Changes the look but if you are ok with how it looks, that's how to do it.

Thank you. That is what I was thinking but wanted to double check.

I will try it like that and give the bars a try out going to Sturgis. If I like them I will do a longer cable

Thanks again

I replaced my cable with a 3+ black cable from harley. The cost was less than $35 shipped. If you should decide to do this I can give you an old stock number which some online dealers still have in stock.

The original cable path is around the front and over the top of your stereo. Re-route the cable under it and out the original hole. Gives you a few extra inches.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to get started on the swap in just a few minutes. Really hope it helps on the tendinitis in the elbow

I would have but he was asking how to reroute the stock cable and I was only putting out there that I replaced mine with a 3+ stock harley black cable, not wanting to hijack the thread with what I done and if he should so decide to do this as well.
So, here it is to those that may want the information for future references.
This part number has been listed in many post's in the past as well if you do a search here.
NOP #38649-08
As I stated earlier a few select dealers or online vendors may still have this part in their NOP's.
Check with your local dealer and have them look it up in their h-d net.com, "parts locator".
All's well.

Rerouted the cable and came out of the original hole. Worked just fine. I like the way the bars feel.
