Default Question about 48

Greetings,
I have been riding a few years, but just purchased my first new bike at 20. It's a 2019 HD 48. (XL1200X if I'm not mistaken). On my previous bike, I installed
10 inch narrow z bars , basically these right here , and I only had to get a brake line. I want to put the same style bars on my new bike. Does anybody have experience installing taller bars on the 48?
And if so, what all do I need? I am assuming not everything will reach the new bars.

I just had 10” bars installed on my wife’s and it needed clutch and brakes lines. Throttle cables were fine.

Thanks for this information. I sure as hell won't be paying dealer pricing for bar installs.
