Default 2003 fatboy handle bars

I just ordered a set of tbars for my bike. They have an 8in rise 7 in pull back and 31 in wide. My question is will I be able to use my stock cables or will I need to purchase a new ones and if so what lengths will I need?

You don't say what the bars are being fitted onto and what they are to replace?

Says right in the title "2003 fatboy" and I also stated I have stock cables so it still has the original handlebars

You can find the dimensions of the standard bars here and then compare to the ones you've bought http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Import...ckBarsOne.html

I just put some 8" mini apes on but they are narrow...I had enough slack but I already had a longer brake line from a previous brake mod. there wasn't much extra on the brake line. I also used some 4 up an 2 back risers an the wires worked.

Are these drag bars? Similar to what's on mine?
