what to do

I am thinking of changing my bars to the rsd 12 inch vintage ones. I am torn.

Here is a pic of my bike as is.
Thoughts on changing them out.

no brainer, the RSD bars are awesome looking and will look great on your bike.

I don't think you will need to change your cables, should work out just fine. I have bars with a 13" rise on my street bob and there is plenty of room.

If I recall, I read on here that you can put up to 14's on Street Bob's without having to do any cable swaps. I went with 16" Road 6 Customs (basically a cheaper version of the RSD vintage bars) and had to change all but the brake line. I had plenty of wiring to run internally, I'm pretty sure you won't have to change anything.
