Exclamation Replacing handlebars?

Hey everyone,
Can anyone tell if I replace my wide glide handlebars with a street bob, will I need to change the cables? It does not look like much of a difference but there is a 3 inch height difference.

Thanks Roy

I've been wondering the same thing. They are exactly what I've been looking for but don't want to change the cables etc.

WideGlide2013, if you open the parts and accessories catalog you'll find a page that details the cable lengths for your bike and the bob. Then all you need do is take the difference of the two and that is what you'll need if any.
