Default Apes/Cables?

Want to put apes on my 2005 FLHT, either Wild1 or Cyclesmith, have not decided yet. Realize that I will need to extend wiring and use new cables/brakelines. My questions:

1. Are all clutch cables and throttle/idle cables the same on the ends? Do I jsut need to find ones long enough?
2. Want to use either all black or all stainless cables/brakelines. Can someone provide the part numbers that they used for the changeover?

Thanks

No they they are not the same, one of them has a spring on the end, forget which one,
and if you have cruise control you will need an idle cable with the roll-off sensor in it.

You need to figure out what size apes you are going to install and then find out what
length cables and brakelines will fit, if you go with baby apes like 8.5 inch I here stock
length cables will work, I put on 12.5 inch WO's and used 6inch over stock cables, the
brakelines you can buy in pieces, the lowers are the same length, the upper was longer,
the dealer will know what sizes and mine ordered Barnett cables for me to.
