I changed mine on my 2011 with out a cable change. I went to the following:

H-D part# 56081-82A Buckhorn bars &
H-D part# 56290-05 Pullback risers.

I ride 2 up most of the time and i found that the bars were just a tad close to me so what I did was I reversed the riser so the bars were forward instead of pulled back.

this for me ended up being just right.. and it looks just fine...
I did remove 1 clamp for the front break line that attaches it to the fork and that gave me just the right amount of clearence so the line did not pull tight when the turning lock to lock.....
good luck..

Ed
