I'm not sure I understand what you're question is. I just ordered some mini apes for my 1200 and I was told getting the cable lengths is no problem. The issue could be the brake line. It might have to be bent to make it fit. So I'm thinkin' that's the only issue you could run into as far as cables go. The length you have should be fine. Those Z-bars are nice. I was thinking about getting a set, but decided to go with mini apes. I'm getting Roland Sands bars for my Softail, which kinda have the Z-bar look, so I wanted to change things up a little for the Sportster.

Use your stock speedobracket that came with your Nightster unless you want the Z bar sits on top of the 6" risers, looks weird.
