Hi guys new member here. Just got my first harley. 06 road king. Wanting to put 12 inch bars on. Will I have to change all cables and lengthen the wires. Thanks
I have 06 RK as well. My bars are 13" and I did lengthen the cables and wires. Made the bike handle much better for me.

Installed 12" Bully bars and new cables. Awesome to get off the bike without a painful back. Hitting a bump sitting upright is so much better than bent over sport bike style.
Front brake lines, for sure. Probably throttle cables. Might get away with the clutch cable with a slight re-route. Wires were OK. That's what I did with 12s on a 2000 RK.
