LST, I havnt rode the bike with them on yet, it was the beginning of my winter mods. I love how they look and feel though.
Ive got an 07 Superglide and it took 08 Street bob cables (which i had a hell of a time getting right since the harley tech decided to order the wrong cables 3 times). After i got the right cables it wasnt difficult though. Take the tank off to get to the Throttle/idle cables, theres enough slack in the hand control lines to run mini apes (6" rise from stock bars i believe) so theres no need to splice/lengthen them.
Put the new clutch line on and the new front brake line and your good to go. Clutch was pretty simple, youll need a clutch cover gasket and o-ring if the gasket tears. Brake is very simple. Took a little tinkering to get the throttle and idle in the grip but nothing to demanding.

Here is my contribution to your fat bob ape hanger thread. 
I, personally, thought these look excellent on the fat bob:
I think what makes these bars work nicely with the fat bob is the 1.5 " thickness and the straight angles. It flows with the fat forks and angles of the bike if you know what I mean. Also, you want to make sure the bars flow with the forks from a verticle standpoint (same width) since the forks and bars are exposed.
They are made by the same guy who built my bars. Bill at BR Custom Cycles. www.brcustomcycles.com

These bars are identical to mine and pictured on a softail but I think a fat bob could also pull them off. Check em out:
