You don't have to change cables or lengthen any wires.

Stock will work with those bars.

Of course it's probably a good time to change to braided SS
cables if you plan to in the future.

Put them on my RK this winter, awesome bars. Ran the electrics through the bars, it's a tight fit, but you do not need to extend the wires. Did all my cables in stainless while I was at it. Ran my throttle and brake cables 2" over and my clutch cable 3" over. Worked out perfect, even though Wild 1 says you can run stock. I could have gotten away with 2" on the clutch, but it was not available from my dealer at the time. It's a long enought run that you can lose some slack.

I have the 508's on my bike. You can use the stock throttle cables but I wouldnt suggest it, stock cables are a tad short and will run straight across to the front of the bike vs. a clean close to the bar install with a slightly longer setup. You'll also need to replace the upper clamp to a one piece unit for a firm mount. HD has them for about $17.
