So I take it that you did not have to replace any of the cables or the brake line??

Well got er done... the new bars are very comfortable, I would recommend to anyone who is experiencing
Shoulder or lower back pain..
Changing the bars on a Streetglide to reduced reach bars is an intense job, requires removal of the
faring, radio, lower switch housing, tank dash, seat.. All controls (of course)
Some special tool may be required... Snap ring pliers, Ball Allen Set... and Torque Bit Set...
If your using you original cables and brake line, they till have to be re-routed and checked numerous times for
turn radius interference.. Brake line has to be re-shaped to gain length and follow the bar... (carefully)
Altho a tough task, it is worth the outcome..

Richard, do you have a part number on those bars? I've been thinking about doing this myself and I'd like to be sure I get the right ones.
