Default Mini-apes on Fatboy

All,

I could find any details on this so thought I would ask the question. I have a 2003 Fatboy. Right now it has the buck horn style bars and I would like to switch to mini apes. Here are the bars I'm considering:

Has anyone installed a bar this size? What new cables/wires will it require?

Thanks

Installed similar set (not internally wired) on my 2002 Fatboy, did not have to change anything.

IMHO, don't get 1". You want the 1 1/4" that has the 1" indents for the triple tree clamps. 1" looks like crap.

I have a set of brand new chrome Paughco 11" 1 1/4" mini apes that I paid $159 for at a swap meet that I'll sell for $150 shipped.
