Funny...I sat on a Slim that had 10" apes and I would have bet money the guys said all cables and such were stock. They looked it. I don't have apes but I have changed bars and I know there's a s*** ton of slack in everything.

You may get by with not swapping anything but the front brake line? It will be kind of a roll of the dice.
I had my bars all wired up and installed on the bike and tried hooking up the stock clutch and throttle idle cables to cheat the kit. (The standard 1" mini apes with 1" risers may work?)
The clutch reached but was tight, the throttle idle cables were a no go, not enough slack. I bought everything through Harley as a kit to install the HD fat mini apes. Very easy
Only drama was doing it on my condo patio.

Just asked my indy yesterday which hight apes would work with stock cable and he told me 10" as long as they're not the drag type.
