Default 10" Apes on my Road King.. Will I need extended cables?

Want a different look and feel and find the 10" apes about perfect.&nbsp\\; Are the 10" apes drastic enough to need cable and wire extensions?
Thanks!
RG

Can't say for sure. I have 12" on my RK Classic with stock throttle cables and I have a cruise control issue. Seems the throttle cable is now a bit short with a tight curve in it which causes the cruise control "clamp on thingy" to not work right.
Seems as I am going to need about a 3-4" longer cable to make the cable feed right and lay flat enough to enable the cruise to work.
Otherwise all works fine with stock cables. If you don't have cruise you should be OK.

What brand of apes have you guys put on?&nbsp\\; 08 Road King here that would look great with a 10 or 12 rise on the bars.

I've never driven a bike with apes.&nbsp\\; Are they comfortable?&nbsp\\;
