Default 2012 wide glide

I am interested in purchasing either a set or santee straight up t-bars in 8in or just a set of 2 in riser spacers from spacer Jim's for my 2012 wide glide. I am curious as to if I could do either of these without a cable or wire change. The cables seem pretty tight stock. If anyone has any pictures that would be awesome

I am also interested. I plan on doing pretty much the same. I am guessing that the cables will be long enough do to the curvature of the stock handle bars. But I have been wrong before...

I think someone on here is using 2" spacers on the stock setup and is running stock cables if I'm not mistaken. Mock up a 2" spacer and see how it comes out.

Hahaha, yeah I hear that. I'm pretty sure there is a guy running 2" spacers with the stock setup using the stock cables. I cant remember his user name though. Maybe he'll chime in.

Thanks Dan, I would prefer the chrome 8" over the black spacers. I'll ask around and see what I can find out when I have some time.

I am running the two inch spacers with everything else stock. Love them but am going to change to a set of 8 inch drags soon...

Awesome man, thanks a lot. What year is your bike? Did you have to pull any extra wiring or cable or anything or did it just stretch right up?
