Default heritage bars on a fatboy

Does anybody know if heritage bars will fit on a 2005 fatboy without changing out the cables and electrical.

I just did a quick search and the first post I read says yes, Heritage bars will work on a Fatboy with stock cables.

Installed them on my 06, no problems. Just have to bend the brake line a bit to follow the bars.

Default Bars

Don't want to hijack this thread but, would the reverse also hold? Looking to put stock Fatboy bars on a 96 Heritage?

It would seem that it would. At least that is what common sense says, although I know motorcycle parts and such rarely follow any rules having to do with common sense.
