Default cable question

I'm changing my superglide front end to a wideglide and I want to run 18" apes on it, I found a set on e-bay that come with the clutch, brake, and throttle cables for a good price but they're off a 93 heritage. Will I be able to use these cables on my 92 fxr?

You might, but why would you want to put old cables on your bike when their condition isn't known? I'd go for new myself. A broken clutch cable won't seem like a bargain if you get stranded in the middle of nowhere when it breaks.

For just the bars its a good price but if the cables are good and would work it would be a plus. The bars are Wild 1 phsyco chubbys and steel braided lines + grips.

Gotta agree with DGLIDE04........... You would be better much better off with new, and you can also make YOUR choice on what type.
I know they ain't cheap. When I get the extra dough I plan on putting a set of Flanders 6 bends on my Dyna.
They aren't real popular these, but neither am I.

Pain like you said the bars are a good deal so if the cables are good then its a bonus. I like the idea of new also but some times that just isnt in the budget, and i think once you get them it will be pretty easy to tell weather they are usefull or not.

Pain, Clayman has an excellent point.

Also checkout the guy's feedback on EBAY, and ask him the condition of the cables.
