dyna wide glide bars.
Looking at picking myself up a 2013 wide glide rode one at the dealership but I don't really like the stock bars was thinking of upgrading to a set of 14 Inch z bars question is am I gonna have to get all new cables or will the stock ones be long enough to use?

Brake line and will need to be changed out for sure, possibly the clutch cable. I've not measured the throttle cables and bar wiring at this point. I've got a '13 Wide Glide as well and thought of also adding apes last year when I bought her new off the floor since I normally use apes on my Wide Glides; I installed DK Custom 2" fat riser extensions just to see how I'd like them and I ended up liking the riding position so much I've kept the extensions and the stock bars/risers for a year but going with a 2" over stock the brake line has perhaps one more inch available. I plan on going to 16" apes this upcoming winter as one of my off-season mods, I'll install the bars then measure out what lengths I need.
Edited to add: I've got some images of my bike with the riser extensions on I can post up if you want to see the change they made to the riding position, you may find as I did they're an option...

These are 2" fat extensions using the stock bars and risers, no changes to the stock cables, brake line or wiring. You can see the brake line is just about maxed out but everything fits well and I was quite surprised how I liked the riding position, I liked it enough I'm in my second season riding with it 
These are the risers I used, $35 well spent

I no longer have my 2010 Wideglide but when I bought it new I hated the drag bars. I installed 14' Wild One's with all new cables and it was a big improvement. It was a nice bike but I really missed having hard bags so I traded it.

The tank lift is a DK Custom 2" lift. When I do go to apes, most likely 16" I'll do a 3" tank lift and add a taller sissy bar to keep the balance of the bike.

That would look very cool but my personal opinion I don't really like the look of the passenger seat solo it up and it would be perfect maybe throw on a set of Vance and Hines short shots and your golden haha
