Default Fxdls new bars question

I've already got hardcase 7 risers I'm looking at getting the pro taper cr high bars that have a 2.5 rise with a height of 3.8 . I'm wondering if I get a +4 clutch +4 brake line if that will be long enough

I just put 12" bars and used both factory lines and clutch. I would definitely get the brake lines mine are way too tight and the lever is angled down but i wanted to ride while i wait for my order to come in. On the clutch side i wouldn't worry about it, i re-ran the cable to the right side and it looks perfect, im going to return the cable i ordered. If i want pics let me know.. I have a 17 FXDLS

i did the same thing when I put my 16s on my old Fxdb. I am actually ready to order everything for my lrs so I'm going to mount the bars on the 1.5 inch risers on the bike, then use coax cable to measure exact lengths of what I need from magnum shielding.
