Stock Throttle Cable Length?? 3 Years ago  
Well I have searched and searched, anybody know what the stock throttle cable length is for a 01'?? My bike came with risers about 8" and I'm pretty sure the handlebars aren't stock either. I measured the housing length of current cables and they seem to be around 41" basically not much over the vinyl plastic coating. Trying to figure out how much more over stock length I need.

Re:Stock Throttle Cable Length?? 3 Years ago  
Well I found out from Motion Pro that the stock Pull throttle cable length is 34.2" and the Push is 34.7" and those are the housing length, does not include any housing end fittings. This measurement I know will work for numerous road star years, just not sure exactly what years or models. I emailed 3 different dealers asking them what the stock length was and NONE of the 3 were any help and didn't know. One was Ron Ayers, Local dealer and Stadium, stadium never even replied. Ron Ayers though is still a great place to order OEM and Niche Cycle a great place to order Jets from.

I'm glad you found an answer. Thanks for sharing too. My bikes are tucked in a temporary winter storage (big frown) and didn't have quick access to measure. In the summer, that question would have been answered in a moment.

Awesome John. Can you verify for the original poster what year they came from?

Cables don't get measured from barrel and to barrel end, measure the coated housing only, don't include fittings.

And now the funny part, you mentioned part number printed on the cable. So went out and looked on my old cables and I could barely make out a part number, but they both were the exact part number I purchased. 65-0263 and 65-0264 both are 6" over stock length.
