Plus 2" on everything. If you can, go with 3" over on throttle but not clutch. Brake should be good at 2" over.

The onlyest thing I can say negative about the beach style bars is that when you turn your elbows contact the passenger's knees (if she's tall)

I've got the Star Bars. I wish I'd got them sooner. All the stock cables and wiring were fine. In fact I think the cables look better being slightly tighter.

I like the look of the bars. They really suit the lines of the bike and are comfortable.

I put the Kuryakyn ISO grips on

Re:Nostalgia or Star Bars Questions 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
I have the Big Johnson bars on my bike and they look/feel great. That said, I went +2" on the cables. I am going to apes, so I could make you a good deal on some stainless cables that I bought from Barons (clutch, two throttle and upper brake). I put them on last winter and the clutch cable is brand new (the coating on the old one developed a hole from rubbing on the windscreen bracket).

Let me know if you are interested.

I went with the Nostalgia Bars and 4" risers on my '03 and had to get a brake line 2" longer than stock and I ran the other cables behind the triple trees. I love the way they feel now. You just get on the bike and the grips are right there. No reaching at all.
