you shouldnt have to put new cables on or lengthen the wires but you will probably have to remove the wire guides under the triple tree and reroute the wiring

I tried to install Baron's Kickback Risers on my 06 Road*. It didn't work, so I sold the risers.

Personally, I don't like the look when the cables are run behind the triple tree. If and when I ever do it, I'll buy the 2" over cables and brakelines.

With the wires & cables behind the top tree, Barons KickBack risers will fit. The brake hose was a little tight (though it did work) so I went 2" over in SS.
