The short answer to your questions are yes, and yes. I picked up a 2004 RK last week and the standard bars are too short and far forward for my liking. I've read and been told the Heritage bars will bolt right up and that there'll be no problems with the stock cables or brake line. If it is any help, here are the part numbers for the stock stainless bars and the chrome ones:
Stock 56569-86
Chrome 55914-98
The chrome ones are about $70.00 at the HD dealership, probably cheaper on line, but with shipping and all, who knows.
Best recommendatioin I can made is go to your local HD dealer and sit on a Heritage to see where the bars fall, I did this and will be ordering the chrome bars this weekend.

Reason: Spelling
This has been a very popular swap for Road Kings and the Heritage bars will fit without any cable changes. My local dealer does it for about $150, parts and labor.
