Default Z Bars Question

I have an 07 883c with the stock bars on it but I am thinking of buying 8" Z bars to go on it. Does anyone know if you have to change the cables and lines for these bars? Thanks for ya'lls time!!

If you use 1" risers and internally wire them you'll need to extend the wires 6 or 8" but everything else will work. You may have trouble if you use the stock risers.

I just did this to an 09 "C".

Here's a link to a thread about it.
