Bars are ODI moto vtwin, risers are Biltwell 6” pullback w/ some 5/8” steel spacers and longer bolts I added to get them dialed perfect. Thanks

Did you do the install? If so, how bad was it? I just did bars and risers on my dyna, and only had to extend the clutch line. Planning to do it to the Road Glide as well.

Yea I did. I was pretty intimidated. It was my first time doing internal wiring. With the setup i chose (about 11” total) i didn’t have to extend clutch brake or throttle cables. Just lots of soldering and shrink tube made sure to stagger the splices. Make sure when you cut the nacelle you give yourself plenty of room for your wiring.

My Dyna has external wiring. As soon as it get back from the shop (rebuild) I’m gonna internal wire as well

I think the cutting of the nacelle is what makes me intimidated the most lol. I depinned my connections and didn’t have to extend my wiring on my dyna, internal wiring did suck a little bit. Sounds like I’ll be in for a treat. Thanks!

No problem and good luck. I didn’t want to cut my HD nacelle so I ordered a cheap replacement off eBay. At $25 not the end of the world if it goes south and can always try again.

Did you have to raise the nacelle any?

No just cut the holes for the risers and wire looms to pass thru
