I'm running 20" bars with a 4" riser - 24" total.&nbsp\\; My cables are 12+ stock - if you have 18" bars, then you need at least 6+ stock lenght just for the bars.&nbsp\\; Add the height of your risers to this and you'll get the lenght of the cables you need.
&nbsp\\;
My have just the right amount of slack...not too much as you can see.&nbsp\\; Good luck!!
