Default Help with Non TBW bars and cables - Info needed

I know I posted this question before but I am going to try again because I still do not have an firm answer.

I am getting ready to place an order for the 10" Paul Yaffe Bagger apes. I know that the clutch cable can be re-routed, there is no issue with the brake line or wires, and that on TBW bikes the wiring can be re-routed.

What I haven't yet confirmed is will the stock throttle cables work? if so do they need re-routed?

Also, why do you have to use a one piece riser clamp?

Thanks

Don't worry about throttle cables, no problem with them and no re-route. I've done 10" to my ultra and the only thing which is a little bit too small is brake lines, you can see it on the pic

The one piece riser clamp is necessary, don't mount it without!!!

Thanks! So you didn't even need to re-route the clutch cable? I am assuming that even though the brake line is somewhat tight, there are no issues?

cables can be re routed but as cheap as they are... why not get new cables?
I did .
The one piece clamp gives bagger/apes more stability ... less chance of torquing the bars or even having the break .

Thanks, The one piece clamp now makes sense. On the cables, where is a good cheap source? All the ones I have found are more expensive then the bars are. By changing the cables, It almost triples the cost. The OL wouldn't be happy about that. LOL

Thanks.
