I changed cables and front brake lines, some don't but I didn't want to skimp and have a cable fail early due to fatigue. The Harley kit comes with stainless front brake hoses. Very happy with end result.
When I installed my bars, I wanted to replace the cables with +2 Diamondback cables but they are not available yet. Since I didn't want to do it twice, I chose to reroute the stock cables.
I have thought about doing this too. It would be nice to sit up instead of leaning forward.
Guess I'll have to save my pennies this spring for the conversion.
