Handlebar question

I have a 06 Heritage Softail (FLST) and was considering changing to the Heritage Classic handlebars. Anyone know if this would require changing to longer cables and lines? Thanks

I didn't know there was a difference in handlebars between a FLST and a FLSTC. I have an 06 FLST and thought the only difference was the paint, bags, studs and windshield. If the is a difference in bars there is no way it requires cable changes. I went to Sweepers and they even worked with the stock cables. I am curious though if you have specs on the handlebar differences.

Thanks for the reply. As you can see, I am new at this. I was looking at HD part # 55623-99. I did a model specific search and these came up as a fit for the 06 flst. What I am interested in is a mini-ape type option,
