Default 10" Strip bars, need new cables?

I just ordered some of todds cycle 10" 1-1/4 strip bars, and am wondering if anyone has any experience with installing them. Wondering if I will need to stretch wiring/cables or both.

It will depend on risers, though I would think even with 1" risers you would still be takker than the factory bars. I would just plan to go longer with wiring and cables. There are kits from several different places that offer plug and play wiring kits and cable kits for bar/riser combos.

Any one know where I can get some 4" longer cables over stock? I found 4" wire extension from NAMZ.

Can't help too much with cables as I went internal everything on mine, even the brake line, but I can say you're gonna love those bars!
