Default ? About Moving To Street Bob Bars

Hey guys, I want to move from the mini apes that came with my FXDC to some Street Bob bars. My question is; what cables if not all, will I have to replace.

Thanks For Any Help!

Some have switched to the mini-apes and gotten away with using their stock cables and lines, but they were a stretch.

IMO, find take-off cables and lines, normally for less than $50.00 for the set, and use stuff made to fit.

true you can bend your brake lines to make it work... as well as re route your cables... hell i went to a 16.5 on my bob and just took my time re doing the lines and wires but was able to keep stock
