Thats what I used for 10 inch apes on my iron and I have plenty of slack.Burly recommends that kit for there 12 inch bars so you are good to go with it!

The burly cable kits contain cables that are longer than they need to be.. if they sell a 10" kit, I'd recommend getting that instead for 12" mini apes.

That being said.. you might be able to make your stock cables work, in fact everything except the brake line is very likely to be long enough, and the brake line can be sourced locally from any brake shop.

Yes get the burly cables, they are excellent quality and will fit great. I used them on a set of 12" mini apes and they were perfect.

10 inches apes is the max on a Iron without changing,clutch,brake cables,throttle and wiring will work.

Odd that the iron is different than the low, I used the stock clutch cable on 12" apes.
