I can't imagine putting the even higher and wider RT bars on my K75S without having to also go to the longer RT/LT cables and brake lines. There is a reason BMW has several different part numbers for cables across the product line. While the shorter cables might work, I would be concerned about strain shortening the life of the cable.
As Point Seven Five mentions...you need the RT/LT cables and front brake line.
The electrical connections on the switchgear, front brake switch, choke cable, clutch lever electrical switch etc will need to be freed up from under the fuel tank as they are long enough. This needs to be done carefully to avoid pulling some apart accidentally. Check all is good before refitting the fuel tank.
