Most likely not. And if you need the extensions, most HD dealers carry them in stock.
I just put Klock Werks 2+2s on my Limited. So thats 2 up & back. The stock cables just needed to be set free from all thier zip ties to give me planty of play.

What year is your Roadking Dave? If it's a cable throttle bike (not TBW) Harley has a Roadking High handlebar part no.55954-00 which has a similar shape overall to the oem bar but it is a tad higher but not as high as a Heritage bar. It is wider across the base than the Heritage bar again resembling an original type RK bar. It is both a good looking handlebar (chrome not stainless) as well as a very comfortable bend and it may fit nicely with your existing cables and brake line length. Just a suggestion for ya..
