Guest Shep Posted November 2, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 2, 2008 I ordered the Flanders full-back handlebars and plan to put them on my 07 RSTD next week. If any of you have done this and have pics that would be greatly appreciated. NOTICE: it is for an RSTD not a Venture. I need to see how you RSTD guys took off the speedo and re-routed the cables. Also - if you bought new cable that won't help me much 'caue I am going to do this with the existing cables Thanks, Shep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man - I am running into trouble with cable/brake hose length....especially the front brake hose - throttle side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Eagle Posted November 8, 2008 Share #6 Posted November 8, 2008 Shep, not sure which bars you got. I got mine through Flanders - John sent me the one's specifically made for the RSTD - and we (meaning the dealer) had no issues with the stock cables. I've had them on now for almost two years - no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsigwing Posted November 11, 2008 Share #7 Posted November 11, 2008 Man - I am running into trouble with cable/brake hose length....especially the front brake hose - throttle side. I had to unbolt the brake line from the "splitter" that is under the forks and re-route it to the back side to get enough length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsigwing Posted November 12, 2008 Share #9 Posted November 12, 2008 I had to unbolt the brake line from the "splitter" that is under the forks and re-route it to the back side to get enough length. I just finished installing the wide max pullback handlebars on my 05 RSTD. Had to reroute the throttle side brake line as well as all of the electrical cables from the throttle side. No big deal. I initiall re-routed the throttle cables, but didn't work out, so I moved them back to the original routing. I like the feel, but don't like that the stock cable ties can't be reused since the little screw or whatever it is that holds them against the handlebars are welded to the bar. Also had to drill a new hole for the throttle cable assembly. I had a friend weld a washer and nut inside the handlebars and the stock bolt for the end weights won't reach, so I ordered two new m6 90 bolts for them. Would be much easier to do a 2nd time.
