Some old notes I found from my bar replacement:
Stock Street bob cables are:
Throttle/Idle 32.5"
Clutch Cable 68.69"
Brake line about 47"

The stock mini apes are are 10.5", so given the 7.5" increase in height and any additional width, I would go with 40" throttle/idle, 76" or 77" for the clutch, and 54" or 55" for the brake line.

Check out Jireh Cycles for good cables at a great price. You can also get Russel brake lines there. Good luck.

Subscribed so I can have a reference later down the road.
