Nope.
Stock clutch cable length on a FXSTC is 64 11/16" your train is 57 11/16th"
Stock throttle /idle cable lenght on the FXSTC is 32.5 and 31.75 your train is 26.5
Front brake line is 50" yer' Train 43"
So its a pretty big difference on stock cable lenght there.
Now I'm in the process of doing a set of 12" narrow mini apes on my Train using a 1.5" OEM Heritage riser.
My bike is lowered 2" in the front and on that shorty riser with my narrow mini apes 31" tip to tip, 12" tall, 7" pullback.
After measuring them mocked up on the bike I'll end up needing a 48" front brake line up from my 43" or +5.
I wanted to go long on the throttle. So 34".
I'm installing a Jockey clutch as I do the bars but +5 over the stock clutch would work.
I bought all the OEM cables off a guy here with a Cross Bones. All will fit well except the derned front brake. Its a 45" and probably gonna be 3" to short....Unless I can get the bend out of the steel piece that mounts under the triple tree.
So +5 all the way around and I dunno about the internal wires yet. Bars are still at the PC pick em' up tonight! Our wires have a little extra....+5 would be a stretch though.

NT's have about the shortest cables on any of the Softails.
So I kind of doubt it. In any case its a safe bet that that almost any change is going to require at least a new brake line.

I have 10" straight riser t-bars with stock cables. It's a bit of a stretch, but it works fine. I did lower the front about 1.5" on mine also though. I have a feeling, that had I not lowered the front, that brake line wouldn't reach.
