Default 14" Gimp hanger on Crossbones

I ordered myself a set of Gimp hangers for my Crossbones. They are 14" high, my OEM handlebar is 12" high. Do I need new cables brake line and wire extender?

Yes. I have a 2008 with 14"ers. The clutch side was too short on the control cables. Buy the Namz extension kit and solder them. Your going to ask what length my cables are and at this moment it escapes me.

I will probably get the extension set for clutch, brake, wiring and throttle. I can imagine everything being a bit too short if the bars are 2" higher. Even if they reach, it will be 'just'..
Is there a good set out there that one can use?
