Default New Bars

Been thinking of putting stock Heritage Softail handlebars on my '02 Fat Boy for some time now. My only concern would be if the cables were long enough. I already have 2 1/2" pullback inch risers on with the stock Fat Boy bars and may or may not use them with Heritage bars, depending on the feel. Anyone gone this route?

Interesting idea. I think that would look sweet!

I have a female friend who got a new Fat Boy last summer. Her husband did this with her bike because he felt that she wouldn't be reaching as much. And it did look pretty sharp in my opinion.

I bid on a set on ebay this morning. We'll see what happens. If worse comes to worst I can buy brand new chrome Heritage bars from HD for $49.95. I'd like to get it all set for Myrtle Beach bike week.
