How high are the apes? I'm pretty sure the stock cables that were used on the stock bars are long enough for mini apes. So if that's what you got then the cables should be fine. I have a buddy doing the opposite on a 2007. He has done it on 2 older fat boys and in both cases he was able to use the original cables to go up. He wants black mini apes though. You might have at least found some stock bars. PM me and I will put you in touch with him. Maybe you guys can just trade bars.

Can you post up some pics of your ride and the bars? Maybe some others will chime in?
Do you have ABS? I'm not sure if it was available on the 14s. Pm sent

If you end up needing to change cables and/or brake lines I have a few low milage stock sets that I would let go cheap. One set is off a new Fatboy with ABS, only had a few hundred miles on bike when bars were changed.
