Default drag bars and cables

im going to switch out my stock bars for some from wild 1's. the 501's. the website says can use stock cables on most models but i think im going to come up short. has anyone used their stock cables and brake line? if needed to switch them, what was the lenghts that you used?

thanks

i just put the 501s on my 08 night train. stock cables wireing all worked. i didn't internally wire them for turnsignals, etc... if your gonna internally wire prolly need 4" extensions. planning on powder coating em over the winter. hope this helps.
