Default New Handlebars Question

I own a 2007 Softail Custom and currently have the stock handlebars with pullback risers (stock on Standard).&nbsp\\; I'm considering buying a set of bars with a 12" rise, what cables will I need to upgrade to make this work?&nbsp\\; All of them, or just the front brake line?&nbsp\\; And how much longer should I get over the stock cables?&nbsp\\; Thanks, in advance, for the help.

Try http://www.magnumshielding.com/
They were very helpfull and fast on my brake lines.

I had already got my cables from Motion pro.&nbsp\\; www.motionpro.com
They are good too but do not make brake lines.

So my cables and brake lines are not a perfect match but close.

Debrix cycles EBay store - low rise drag bars around $35.
The are way more comfortable than stock - better wrist angle.
Thanks for asking,
