Default 8" rise t-bars

hello. i tried doig a search but could not find anything.either that or i ran out of patience.
i've got an 03 dyn l/r and want to put 8" rise drag bars on it. i was wondering if anyone has done this and did you have to lengthen the wires or cables. i've tried to ask the stealer but they said that thier street slammers would work and wouldn't say anything else.help me out. thanks.jay.

I used to have a superglide and I switched from the stock bars to 6" straight risers and drags off of a night train. It was a simple bolt on job. It was a stretch, though. I don't think I could have gone much higher without having to switch out the cables.

i switched to carlinnis with an 8 inch rise and since i ran internal wires i was able to keep the stock wires, but went with braided lines!!!!!!!!!! i am sure the stock lines would have worked

I have a 2002 FXD with 28" Krome Werks T-bars with an 8" rise. I did not change the cables but the wires are internal.
