Default Length of clutch cable

I have installed a set of mini apes on my nightster. I have installed Burly 12in cable kit. The clutch cable bows all the way over to the throttle side. I have measured the cable housing which is 66 in. I need to find out what length is the 72 clutch cable or what length are people using.

Ummm, maybe contact Burly and see what they recommend, or whoever you bought your cables and bars from?

what height mini apes did you get? Also if you end up getting a shorter cable, i might be interested in buying yours as im going taller on my apes this winter. BTW I have 10" apes on my 48 with stock length cable

I used a stock cable on my old 12" minis and 2'in risers. The cable was a bit too small. I went to a local motorcycle repair shop and bought a used cable for $5.00. I recently went to 16" apes with the 2" risers and measured my five dollar cable to see if I had to get another one. My cable measured 63 " and works perfect with the 16s

That was a long time ago over 8 years. So the answer is no. Sorry
