Anyone order custom cables from Barnett?

I worked at a local bike shop years ago....we ordered custom cables from them all the time.
IIRC, for lenght, they wanted case lenght only, not including the elbow. Then they wanted to know the degree of elbow you needed (ie 90) then they need to know what carb you were running (I worked there when fuel injection was just getting started) and they needed to know what material you wanted it in.
One customer needed me to order a 10ft or 12ft cable from them....they were like "What is this for???" it wasnt for a bike....it was for a remote hi hat on a drum set.

I'll be ordering from them most likely next week since I'm looking for cables to fit a set of 16 inch z bars I just installed on my Street Bob. I've talked to them already a couple times on the phone and they seem like good people.
What size bars are you using that need +12 cables? And if you don't mind, what did the cost of the cables come to?

I'd been happily using Barnett for decades, although now my new bike doesn't take cables.
They take a week or two to get, so I got in the habit to always have a new spare set in my toolbox. Saves a little on shipping, and can't beat the peace of mind.
Feels good to replace when starts to fray, and I'm ready to work on the bike, instead of ordering/waiting after it's already snapped.

The price was reasonable. Don't remember exact amount. All their prices are on their website.
