Default Ape question

I have a 2012 Fatboy lo. When I got bit by the ape bug I really wanted a set of carlini gangster apes or LA choppers nice curves both in 16". I couldnt afford them and couldnt wait so i got the hd 16" ape and riser kit. I was wondering if I bought the 16" gangsters or nice curves and used a smaller riser if the cables I used on the hd kit would work. I dont like the look of the hd kit anymore so I would like to switch. The clutch cable I have is a total length of 72.7". Adjuster position 31.5" and max cable stroke of 3.13". The throttle/idle cable I used is a total length of 40.5" Angle 90*. Travel length of 5.06". The front brake i used is 32" long and has a banjo bolt angle of 35*. I used a 10" switch extension and a 12" turn signal wire extension. Will these work? I hope so id really like to run one of these apes. Any input is greatly appreciated.
