Default W0578 handlebars

I have a 2005 Ultra Classic. I ordered W0578 bars from wild one. I also ordered the bracket to mount the handlebars, but I am wondering what else I need. Longer clutch cable, or brake cable? Any suggestions appreciated.
TIA
Tom

If these are the 10" bagger bars, you will need a 4" longer clutch cable and probably the same 4" longer throttle and idle cables. The wires should be OK the front brake line is a MAYBE.
