Default Can ape hanger cables be cut to fit?

Ok, i ordered the burley cable set, i ordered 14inch, however i received 16 Inch cables. I did not realize it till months later until i am getting ready to put my apes on. Am i screwed? Will i have to buy a new set of 14inch cables, or can the 16inch cables be altered and still used? Thanks..Jay

You can use the longer cables but the front end may look a bit funny with the extra length littering the front end. I would not be too worried about the cable lengths as they are only two inches. You can always sell what you got now on eBay or this forum in the classified section.
