Default 16” apes to MX style bars

Hello all,
I'm looking to swap out my ape hangers to MX style bars. I'm unsure of what brand I'm going to go with, but I'm thinking Bung King...My question...If I lower the height of the MX bars to 14", can I still use my clutch and brake cables as well as the wiring???
Thanks in advance,Sean

wiring will be fine but I highly doubt you’ll be able to use cables. The problem is going to be width. The Tbars are probably narrower than your apes were. I’d try it though.
