Default Extended reach handlebars

Any one tried the extended reach bars on a Road King? I was at a dealer today and ask about them. They didn't have any in stock, bit could order them $90 (full list) but said I would have to replace upper & lower brake lines with braided, wiring extensions braided clutch cable (which I might not need) and a new tbw, for a total of a little over $1000. I believe that those bars can be put on withour any extended cables or lines from what others have said. If anyone has tried then what are your thoughts.

I just took off the extend reach bars I had on. Everything was stock other than the heated grip wires. I hated the bars, but I am 6'3". they were an ordering mistake when I had the bike repaired after a crash. I have them in perfect condition for $45 if you want them.

I just installed the Extended Reach and love them. Absolutley no replacement of any eletrical, brake, or clutch cables required. The Extended Reach are similiar in specs to the Heritage style but with the wider base, it looks closer to the stock handlebar than the more narrow base of the heritage style. You can also run the electrics internal if you'd like. Great set of bars!
