Default cable swap question

Hi everyone. I have a guy at work that's swapping out his bars on his softail slim. I just recently swapped my bars on my street bob, but my cables are a little long. My question is will his cables work on my bike, and will cables work on his? We're talking the whole nine yards throttle/ throttle return, brake, and clutch. Thanks for any and all input, in advance.

To make this a little clearer, im asking if the cables themselves are the same. Any and all connectors used to hook up to bike. Dont really know how I can put it for you any easier...Just found out it won't work anyways...lucky for me that I don't have to rely on your advice Keybear haha. I'm kidding.

What we really need to know is the following.

Are both sets of cables STOCK. If not what lengths are they.

Or you can just do the leg work yourself http://www.magnumshielding.com/store/

Both sets are stock. Not sure of lengths. We're not around our bikes, but Ill update when possible. Apparently, NONE of these cables will work, on either bike. I guess the connectors are completely different between dynas and soft tails. Makes sense, but I figured the concept of how the cables did their jobs would be the same across the board! Oh well...thanks again for everyone's input.
