Default Khrome Werks 300504 handle bar ?

Been looking at old threads and not finding an answer.
So maybe some with the older RK's that have used these bars can help me out.
I have an 05 RK and am thinking about the KW's 300504 +2" taller wide sweeper bars.
Will I need to go with longer cables with these bars or does the stock length work?

They [web sight] say the +2 FLHT does take longer cables but I'm not sure for my bike.

Thanks

I know. I've been looking at different bars for the last 2 weeks and I think I've got it narrowed down to the KW's.
What I have found is one shop will have one bar another shop may have a different bar or they'll have no bars I'm looking for. And I don't want to order bars with out a dry fit to see how they will feel. I'm only about forty mile from J&P's, so I can test fit the KW bars.
But I not sure on the cable length on this model.

Don't know if this will help, on my 2012 street glide I went with KW plus 2 Sweepers....only change that was needed was clutch cable, 4" longer....I re-routed my stock cable and didn't change it, but that would have been better to change it...

Ya can re-route your clutch cable but better to go longer.

I just went with Krome Werks Heritage Fat bars. They said I wouldn't need longer cables but my Indy called and said way to tight so he installed two inch longer cables. IMO better plan on some longer cables. BTW., LOVE my bars and the internal wiring. Very comfortable.

I also have the +2 sweepers and I did not need to change out the cables. I had the dealer install the bars before I picked the bike up and they installed a longer ss clutch cable which I thourgt look bad with the brake line being stock black so I installed the OEM clutch cable back on and it fit great.
With the Road King cable routing is a lot easer.

KW +2 Sweepers on my bike. Changed absolutely NOTHING. All wires connected in original location and brake and clutch line are stock.

Default Just an update

They're on and all is good, no changes to the cable or wiring.
Had to tweak the break line just a little.
Will take it for a ride tomorrow but they sure feel good just setting on it.
Thanks for all the help.

I had to loosen the hydraulic clutch banjo and front brake banjo and rotate them a bit then tightened them back up. Didn't even have to bleed anything...
