When I did the WG/FXDB handlebar P/N 56079-93 on my 07 I had to buy the cables & brake hose for the street bob too. The wirring harness was long enouh on my 07.

I did this swap last winter. The only thing I needed was a longer clutch cable. (Street Bob p/n) Brake and throttle were fine. I also relocated the turn signals when I did the swap.
Never really cared for the feel so I have since switched to a Low Rider bar with a Low Rider like riser.
Here's a pic of it with the SB bars.
