I tried a few different setups, running longer risers, then eventually settled on what you are going with, 12.5" apes internally wired on stock sized risers.

I was able to get the wild one bars on with the stock cables and line, but just barely. I ended up replacing cables later as I found good deals at Jireh Cycles. You can get pro motion throttle and idle cables (black) there for 15 bucks each. They also have pro motion Clutch cables for about 29 bucks. Then I bought a Russel brake line from them for around 39 bucks. You can make it work with stock cables, but it is tight and doesn't allow you to tilt the bars very far forward. Here is what I ordered from Jireh:
49-227 Russell 52" Brake line (comes with washers) $39
48-664 Pro Motion 72" Clutch Cable $19
48-752 Pro Motion 39.5" Throttle Cable $11
48-753 Pro Motion 39.5" Idle Cable $11

You could probably go with 34.5" Throttle and Idle cables, but I wasn't sure so I went with the 39.5"
I would order both and return the ones you don't use.
Part number for the 34.5" is:
48-754 and 48-755

All cables are black and look OEM, except the Russell brake line that is a subdued stainless. It is a really nice brake line, I didn't want to skimp on that one.

I also went with a Novelo wiring extension kit, I think 4". Do the work yourself and you will save about 8 hours of labor at probably $90 an hour.
