On my ‘17 CVO Limited I installed 10” Wild One Chubby’s and did not have to extend any wires or cables. I was at my local dealer yesterday and the Drag rep was there showing them a new set of 12” bars made by Fat Baggers. Good looking bars and he said the 12” will fit without extensions. He said they are a “true” 12” bar so I think they are a little shorter than some other manufacturers of 12” bars.
Good Luck....

I think you’ll be okay with 12” bars if using stock fairing mirrors, but always good to check first. 100’s of pics on internet with what your looking for. Most 10” bars line right up with fairing mirrors making them useless....hope this helps.

Post by: FLSTFI Dave on February 25, 2019, 11:25:49 AM: I put Yaffe 14" Monkey bars on my 2017 CVO Street glide. If I know I used the stock clutch and break cable, just rerouted them. I am pretty sure I used factory wires also. The fairing mirror worked just fine with the 14" bars.
