Default Handlebar Hell

I am looking for some info on which bars I can replace the original beachbars with. I am looking to sit forward a little more. The problem is I am not sure I want to replace all the cables or wires. Would the original road king bars work?Any suggestions would be helpful.Help!

Sorry I am obviously new to this. I have a 2007 RKC

It would help for us to know what model and year the bike is. I could assume it is a 06 or prior RK custom but you could let us know.

If you are talking about the original handle bars on a Road King Custom you can use the handle bars of a Soft Tail Heritage. They will work with out replacing your cables.

Road King high bars should work without any cable change.
