Default 12" bars

Looking at replacing my stock Ultra bars with 12" tall bars. Was looking at the Klock Werks Ergo up and their sight says that you don't need to change cables. Just wondering if that is true.

I don't think the ergos are 12 inch bars....

FYI - everyone I know that's tried them have taken them off in pretty short order.

You can do better at much lower costs.

Sorry, was thinking that Ultra's have 10" tall bars, when they are just under 8". There goes that idea. Thanks for the responses.
