I do not have that particular set of bars, but I did not need to extend my cables when I put a set of Beach bars on my 2010 Deluxe.
Now I did remove the stock Risers and put 1" ones on, so that made up the difference. I would say with 1 1/2" Risers you would be fine.

I think when you drop the 3" from the stock Risers by going to 1 of 1 1/2" it helps with not needing to replace the cables.
As with anything, you may still need to replace them once you actually have the new bars in hand. One of the perils of online ordering I guess.

hahahaha, awww crap, well bars, risers and new grips are on order...... Have to wait till next month to get the rest.
BLKnCHRME you bike is honestly the nicest Deluxe i have EVER layed my un-worthy eyes upon. Any chance you can list off the cables and lengths i will need? Looks like you are running braided lines? Lemme know which you have going on there if you dont mind sharing secrets!
Thanks

I couldn't tell you the exact length of cables but i do know they are +2" ...I purchased them through Hill Country Cycles 512-264-7333... give them a ring...They were nice priced/fast shipping for cables too. Thanx for the comps...

You might as well replace the cables now. Do it and be done with it. Get some Magnum sterling chromite II's. Once you see them in person you will see how much of a difference it makes on the bike.
I tried to replace bars without replacing anything once and ended up having to take everything apart again and put new cables on. It was a serious PITA.
