Default sportster bars
I want to put some different bars on the wife's '07 1200C with a little more pull back, maybe 2". Does anyone know if this would be too much of a stretch with the current stock cables?

2" is generally doable, although you may have to let some run free rather than being clipped to the bars. It will be close, though.
