That would depend on what type of bars you have installed now. Unless you have high bars installed now you will likely need new cables

Answer is "yes" and here's some research:

If you've never worked on bike wiring...wouldn't really recommend you take this on as your 1st project, unless you have a mechanic friend who knows wiring/schematics/soldering.
