I do not know the exact answer, But an adding a 1.75 riser kit (not new bars) to my 2018 Road King and was told would not need any extensions.... When I do it, I will give a better response here. Good Luck, CSM-H

I just added 12in Hell Bent apes to my 2018 Slim and needed to replace the lines. I’m sure they needed to add wire extensions as well but not sure

I put on Wild ones 502 12.5" apes with 12" pullback for my T-Rex arms. Juice cables will reach took the Brake cable out of the block. Wires were tight so I used wire kit #69200034. The kit was plug and play, no splicing and all wires were same color code. Can bus makes it a lot easier for internal wiring (smaller size connectors).

Your throttle cable should be ok, but your controls might be different story. Try a dry fit. I just put on 12'' bars and no issues with wiring.
