Default Questions about ordering cables for apes

Hey everyone, I'll have some apes on the way here shortly and once I get em, I am going to measure up lengths and order some new cables. I'm thinking about getting Magnums. So I'm on the page to get a ballpark estimate of how much the cables are going to cost, and the clutch, throttle, and idle cables are pretty self explanatory. When I got to the front brake cables, they have the following listed:

Non-ABS designer lower brake assembly
Non-ABS designer upper brake assembly
EZ Align single disk front brake
Swivel fit front brake

My question is, what is it that I should be looking for????

I ride a 2008 FXD.

Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks in advance everyone!

There should be an option to look up by model. I just had them do it at the dealer for me, got the right one.

when I did mine, I was able to order all the cables as a kit from custom chrome. they list them for the different modles and by the height of the bars.
