Default Lookin' at a 2001 RK

Yep, lookin' at a 2001 Road King and if I get it I'll probably want to put beach bars on it. Do I need to plan on getting longer cables in order to switch them out? That could get expensive, so I'm wondering if it's a must do, or if the stock cables would be fine?

I have Chubby 517's on my 01 RK. They're great if you are a short guy, like me. The RK is presently for sale.
