That is a sweet bike and the color is awesome. Good decision and you will ask why you didn't do it earlier.+

I'd like to install a set of progressive to lower the rear and change the handlebars.

Can anyone tell me what the length of the stock handlebars is? What length can I go before I need to change the cables?

Also, will the derby covers from my softail fit my road glide?

Thanks guys!

I've had several different model Harleys.....2007 Softail, 2010 Softail & 2013 Street Glide in the last couple years and the derby covers all had the same number of fasteners but the mounting face was different. The 2010 had the "O" ring vulcanized into the plate, the 2007 had the separate cardboard (not sure of the material) gasket and the 2013 has a rubber gasket that you have to replace when you change fluids.
If the cover has the same number of mounting holes and you get the correct gasket it may work.
