You don't have to change cables or lengthen any wires.
Stock will work with those bars.
Of course it's probably a good time to change to braided SS
cables if you plan to in the future.

RE: chubbys 508s
Put them on my RK this winter, awesome bars. Ran the electrics through the bars, it's a tight fit, but you do not need to extend the wires. Did all my cables in stainless while I was at it. Ran my throttle and brake cables 2" over and my clutch cable 3" over. Worked out perfect, even though Wild 1 says you can run stock. I could have gotten away with 2" on the clutch, but it was not available from my dealer at the time. It's a long enought run that you can lose some slack.

RE: chubbys 508s
I have the 508's on my bike. You can use the stock throttle cables but I wouldnt suggest it, stock cables are a tad short and will run straight across to the front of the bike vs. a clean close to the bar install with a slightly longer setup. You'll also need to replace the upper clamp to a one piece unit for a firm mount. HD has them for about $17.
