Default Evil Apes on a 2011 Wide Glide Help

Ok guys, I've done a search but can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. Here's what I'm doing. 10" Black Carlini Evil Apes, 1.5" risers, Aeromach levers, Joker Machine fork mounted astro turn signals and rear Joker astro turns signals...all at once. My question is this: will I have enough cables and wire to install the bars without replacing them? I'm about to dish out $1000 not including shipping and I'd hate to have to spend more $$$ on cables and wires. I looked at it tonight and the only line that looks like it might not be long enough is the brake line but I'm not sure. Any insight you guys can give would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I have 9" carlini clean sweeps and was ok with wires and cables but it was very close but its golden ended up just perfect. If I had to guess I think your going to have to switch cables, wires would probably be ok cause theres alot of extra slack from factory there. Maybe call carlini directly ask them what the difference in height and pull back is between the 9" clean sweeps and your evil apes and you will probably have your answer. However with the risers and being the bars are also an inch taller than mine I am fairly sure cables won't work. Good Luck

In the end, I decided to go with the 9" Clean Sweeps. It's just easier and they'll handle better. I'm not sure what I was thinking, lol...
