Upgrading Your Handlebars? Don't Forget Your Cable Kit

Raised Handlebars Look Great — Until the Cables Don't Reach
When Harley riders upgrade to taller handlebars — whether it's a set of Ape Hangers, Drag Bars, or anything in between — the focus is usually on comfort and style. But there's a critical detail that gets overlooked far too often: your stock cables and brake lines aren't long enough anymore.
Pulling your handlebars up 10", 12", or 16" puts serious tension on your throttle cable, clutch cable, and hydraulic brake line. At best, your controls feel stiff and unresponsive. At worst, you're riding with a safety hazard you can't see.
That's exactly what a Cable Kit is designed to solve — and it's one of the most important upgrades Mofun recommends alongside any handlebar swap.
What's in a Cable Kit?
A Cable Kit is a complete set of extended cables and lines engineered specifically for handlebar upgrades. A full Mofun kit typically includes:
- Throttle Cable — controls engine acceleration
- Idle Cable — works in tandem with the throttle cable
- Clutch Cable — connects your lever to the transmission
- Hydraulic Front Brake Line — maintains full braking pressure and feel
For modern Harley models, Mofun kits also include Throttle by Wire (TBW) extensions for electronic throttle systems, and upper/lower ABS brake line segments to keep your anti-lock braking system fully intact.

Throttle by Wire Ready
2009+ Touring and 2018+ Softail models with electronic throttle systems are covered with dedicated Mofun TBW extension harnesses for stable signal transmission.
Complete Kits, Transparent Pricing
Starting at $103.99, Mofun kits give you everything you need in one package — no hunting down individual cables from multiple vendors.
How to Choose the Right Cable Kit
Before you order, confirm three things:
- Your model year — cable routing and connector specs vary significantly across generations
- ABS or Non-ABS — ABS models require split-line kits with sensor port compatibility
- Handlebar height — match your kit to the correct range: 8"–10", 10"–12", 12"–14", 14"–16", or 16"–18"
