Default drag bars on a nightster

I'm thinking about putting drag bars on my Nightster. If i go with 4" to 5" risers, will I need any cable or wire extensions?

I have 4" riser, no extension needed. Make sure your bars long enough so you can clear the tank

I have the HD 4" curved risers and I just had 15 degree drags installed and they used my stock cables and all it fine. If i do cut the wheel all the way to the right the bars will hit the tank so you do have to watch out for that. I love my drags and it really give the bike a bar hopper look and sport feel.

I like your risers bette then mine. Mine must be about 4" and they are bent back at about a 45 degree. I might end up swapping them out for ones like yours, but in chrome. The only nice thing is I have drag bars without being leaned too far over.
