Whether you're upgrading to taller risers, swapping out handlebars, or fine-tuning your bike's ergonomics, the correct cable lengths are crucial to ensure everything functions smoothly.

From the upper clutch cable and upper brake line to the various harnesses for controls, speedometer, and throttle, each cable needs to be precisely matched to your chosen riser height and bar model. This guide will walk you through the essentials of cable fitment, ensuring that every connection on your Softail Street Bob or Standard is spot-on, so you can focus on enjoying the ride, not worrying about the setup.
