You will need to loosen the clamps for the brake line and may want to change the routing of the clutch cable (in-front rather than behind the bar), but you will not need to replace any cables or the front brake line.

As above, thanks for the real-world answer. I've always worked on dirt bikes and ATVs and never really gave a damn what they looked like when I was done...as long as it worked. I'm a little pickier about this bike.

And did the new position make it more comfy?

Yeah, they helped get the bars back a bit.

*VIKING66* What kind of bushings are you talking about? Is it a big difference from stock? what is the main change when you do that?
*Anyone who's got this setup* i'm hesitant on getting the 4" pullback risers because i don't know if it will be enough pullback. How much more comfortable does it make the riding position? How much more do the bars really pull back with the risers?
Also, has anyone put the 6" pullback risers on their fatboy lo and not had to change the brake line or any of the cables or wiring?

I have the 4" riser on my 09 Fatboy, it makes for a more comfortable riding position.
With the 4" you do not need to change any cable but you WILL have to if you go with the 6". I have the stock bushings and no issues.
This is a fairly straight forward mod just read the advice posted and COVER YOUR TANK with a towel for protection.
