Default fat bob handle bars

I have searched and read a lot of stuff on the forum and can not find what I am looking for my question is, I just bought a 08 superglide custom and i really am not that crazy about how the bar's look, does anyone know if you can do a fat bob or a 10-11 wide glide bar somehow without changing the cables.

On what risers? These are 10+ wide glide/fat boy lo bars on fat boy lo risers which are a bit more than 1.5" tall - I did try it wit the stock cables and while it will work, sorta of..........you really need shorter ones and they aren't all that much $$$ for OEM ones. I put on 2" shorter and that doesn't sound like much but makes a difference in how things look and function.

Fatbob bars are 1 1/4" so you might need new risers to fit them but cables should be good.
