Default FXDB - Lower handlebars

Hi !
I intend to install a 6" T-bar (Wild-1 Chubby) on my 2013 Street Bob.
Will I have to change the cables for shorter ones ?

nope. the wire will tuck into the frame and the brake, clutch, and throttle cables will just have extra slack.

Hi, Mike.
Thanks for the answer.
So I can swap the handlebars and eventually put shorter cables later...

I ran some shorter mini apes for a while and the extra cable length bothered me. I wouldn't blame you for wanting to change them.
