Default Changing bars on Fatboy Lo

hey all!!! I am looking to change out my handlebars on my 2011 Fatboy Lo - I was told by my local deal that i'd need all new cables if I went with either 6" risers or all knew handlebars....wanting to know if this is true or if they are just looking at getting another several hundred bucks from me...any help or if anyone knows a website with info would be awesome!!!! thanks so much and be safe out there!!!!

I also was digging around on harley's website and saw that they have super reduced reach handlebars....wondering if any wiring/cabling will need to be changed if I switched to those???

The HD site has a pretty extensive list of what parts are needed for what bars. Here you go.

Changed my 2010 from stock to the stock Fatboy bars. Needed to do all cables and I think they extended the wiring. I also have the 4" pull back risers

I put the 4" pull back risers on my 2011. The only thing we had to re-do from stock was the brake line to the top of the ABS unit...had to have one made up.

All the other cables still fit.
