Default 8 inch z bars on wide glide?

Hey guys, Im looking at putting these: http://www.road6customs.com/online-s...oduct=13830319 on my 2012 wide glide. Will I need to change the cables to put these bars on? Also what risers do you suggest, I'm trying to go as least expensive as possible. Also pics would be great!

THANK YOU

OK, I was thinking some low Z's on your WG. Now that, would be smooth.

low Z's are basically the bars your looking at, just a shorter rise.

Do you know off the top of your head if I would need new cables or wires, or would stock work just fine?

You will ok on your wires an brake cable I had enough for be my 12 inch z bars ( stock that is) not sure about the other cables. Words of advice you might want to consider going with an 1 1/4 bars.

I have 1" bars on my 2010. Mini apes with 1.5 risers. The issue with the stock cables is the throttle. There is just not much slack there.

I believe the stock set up has a total of 8" rise. 5 at the riser and 3 at the buckhorn part of the bar.
