Default Beach Bars??
I have a 2005 deluxe and I was wondering if there is any beach style bars out there that you can run without changing any of the cables? Thanks in advance

you can with burly bikini bars, or the HD beach bars I believe. Most other beach bars you can keep the clutch cable but the right sides need to be +2

Most probably have to change the brake cable. Even with my tall Heritage stock bars, I need to change the brake cable. The others reached thanks to the tall stock bars.

I went with Chubby RK bars and had to do +4 on all the cables, but the wiring (run internally) did not need any extensions
