Default Question about cables

Greetings, I'm going to put a reduced reach handlebar on my bike. Anyone have an idea if I need to also change out my cables to adjust for the new handlebar?

Thanks,,,

When you choose the handlebars you plan to install such as these: https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...each-handlebar Harley provides a link to additional fitment information https://www.harley-davidson.com/app-...quirements.pdf

It helps us a lot to tell us what model and year your bike is and what the current bars are. If they are stock I would expect that you should be fine. H-D sells reduced reach bars and, even if you are using a different brand, it is worth visiting the H-D website and the Shop tab, where you can download installation instructions. They will hopefully give you some useful help and advice.
