A friend of mine rides a Streebob with 14" apes on the stock risers. It's very comfortable. Puts your hands in what seems like, the perfect position. Might consider a set of stock one's or just the one inch style. As to your cables and wiring, you'll be fine. Better to be a little too long, than a little too short!
