New bars for Fxdb

So I wanting to change the bars on my 2015 street bob. I was thinkin of going with the la choppers nice curves in 14". I don't wanna run new wires or cables. I was thinkin I may not not need to due to the fact these bars are only 3.5" over the stock bars and the width is 2.5" less than stock.

I could be blowing smoke but it seems logical. Any help in this? Or anyone who has done it?

On my 2011 Street Bob I went from 12" apes to 14" and needed cable and wire extensions. Others will say that you don't but don't take shortcuts, you will regret it later.

See that's kinda what I was thinking. I went from stock 1200 custom bars and risers to 12" t bars on my spirtster and it was a pain and looked odd. But that was a lot more of a stretch so I wasn't really sure how much room I had to play with.
