I've changed bars several times...
I'm guessing you want the 6" risers for the stock drag bars???
If that's the case, my GUESS would be...
yes the stock cables will work.
BUT... if they don't it'll be, most likely the brake line that'll be too short.

I'm currently useing Low Rider Bars on 6" pull backs, Street Bob clutch & throttle cables and a Road King (any touring will work) brake line.

Default problem

with the stock set-up on the fat bob my back starts to hurt after real long distance riding. i was thinking of going with some fat boy bars but if this brings the bars a tad closer maybe i'll just do this?

Just finished the 6" pull back riser install. I don't have any pics, but Centerline's pics above, looks the same. Not too bad to install. The instructions have you removing the bolts that hold the risers on first and then removing the riser caps. If I had to do it again I would remove the riser caps first. It would make removing the risers much easier. Cables were fine, thanks for the info guys.
