Adding Risers and Contol Wires?

Just bought a 2012 Iron. I want to add a set of 2" or 3" with a 1" back risers. Will I have to change out the wire/cables for the handlebar controls?

The Iron is great, I just need to get the bars up a little and back a little. Seems like I have to reach a little bit when riding.

You will probably only have to replace the brake line since you are moving the bars closer to the carb, clutch and wiring harness.

for 2 or 3" I would think you'll be ok.
If your front brake line has metal tubing, you can slightly bend it to adjust if need be...
