Trying to replace OEM bars with keystone or keystone Xl bars. I am trying to avoid changing cables as well. Will the OEM cables reach Keystone bars?

What kind of bike?

 

2005 sportster XLR (roadster) 1200

 

Should be able to get away with the Regular Keystones, maybe just re-route some things. The Xl's youll probably have to extend cables.

 

I have a Nightster with the same bars you have in your pic. I did 10" mini apes and only had to change my brake line cause it was just a couple inches short. Keystones are not as tall so you "should" be fine.

This my 3rd edit...lol. If brake line does not reach you can bend the steel part of the line to get a few inches or new brake line is easy and cheap.

But all the other lines were fine. I did have to reroute a few lines but you'll have it all apart so no biggie.

 

Awesome! Thanks man!

 

How much higher was your hand placement?

 

I put the Biltwell Chumps on my '06 1200R. The Chumps are close to the specs of the Keystone XL. As you can see in the pic, the brake line works but is at it's limit. I also relocated the turn signals. There is enough wiring in the harness for the turn signals to work but I wanted them off the bars anyway.
You should have no problem at all with the regular Keystones.
