Default Cable length for Wild 1's 504

Anyone know for sure if stock length cables will work on Wild 1's 504 bars?

Thanks!

I have the 504 on my 2005 Fatboy and did not have to change any cables, only had to slightly rebend the front brake line.

They definitely might work somewhat i think. Seriously though my stock heritage bars had an 8 inch rise, 34 inch width, and 8 inches of pullback. and the big difference in the two bars is 4 inches of height and 4 inches of pullback. Seems that those two differences would cancel each other out and work for your application.

I was thinking that pullback and height would cancel each other out, but thought I would confirm before buying all new braided lines.

Thanks Guys!

Stock length will work. Had 504s on my 03 Heritage Softail.

I have the 508's on my 04 Fatboy which come back a little farther than the 504's and the stock cables worked fine. I did have to rebend the brake line to line up with the bars.
