Question Measuring handlebars

A couple years ago I bought chubby handlebars from a HD shop and the parts guy told me they would come back farther than stock but that did not happen. Looking still but without being able to actually hold them to mine I have no idea what the difference will be so hoping someone can help. I have been looking at Wild Ones 517's and they give the following dimensions. Just wondering how that compares to stock on my 01 Road King. I would like to come back a bit further and raise a bit but hoping not to have to replace wires/cables. Already have stainless braided cables. I read where this bar would not require replacement of cables or wiring.
Rise 8.5", Width 31", Pullback 14.5", Center 10"

I think your stock bars have around a 7" rise, 11" pullback and 32" width. With those bars, I doubt you'd need to replace cables. I put on the 518's and just had to extend wiring, not the cables.
