First of all welcome aboard from Texas I cannot answer from experience, but what I do know from researching is that everything on the bars will need to be looked at and measured for proper length and replaced accordingly no hard rules do to different design bar lengths/widths and existing length of brake lines, throttle cables and electrical wires. There is a vender here that sells bars with all the cables you need as a package deal and will even internal route the electrical for you for a cleaner look and no guess work on your part

Check the Sportster section...

Surely, there will be riders that know for sure. Can't say for sporties, but I had ample length on all stock cables/brake lines/wires to install 12" mini apes on my RK.
