Default clutch cable swap

Hi,I am new to this site and I have a few questions;I purchesed an 07 softtail custom and up on leaving the dealership I had them to switch the handle bars to the ones like the softtail standard,I just changed over to the street slammer and the clutch cable is too long.My question is will I have to make any internal adjustments inside of the housing when I switch to a shorter cable,or can the adjustments be made on the shorter cable? Thanks....

I only had to adjust the cable when I did mine.
