Default Stock length cables?

Can I run 12" mini apes with stock cables and brake lines on my 01 road king?

you can mod the brake line. and it will work. the clutch will as well, until you turn it sharp, like in a parking lot. and the clutch will not engage. the throttle lines will be stretched as well. throttle will stick as a result. if you do it, and bend your bars back, they might work better. and i have heard of routing them differently. i run 12 inch yaffees, and i got the +2s, and everything works great.

bottom line, it CAN be done, but it wouldnt be done right.
