Hey new memeber here first post. I installed 14 inch jsr custom apes on my 09 fat bob and the cables magnum sent me turned out a little too long kit said rhry were fpr 14-16 inch apes. I am attaching a picture does this cable routing look ok to ypu guys or is there something different I can do without swapping out cables again. Thanks
Those look at least 4" too long to me but everybody has a different idea how cables should look and route. I like mine to follow the bars close and "disappear". Fully custom is about my only option.

yeah those are too long. Cable routings should “blend” in with bars. Those stick out like a sore thumb. Think about it, those cables are right in your forward field of vision.

I can offer ideas for the clutch cable and it might give you some ideas for the throttle cables.
It's going to require aftermarket "cable clamps" like these; https://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Cable...!US!-1&vxp=mtr
They have'm for clutch, single throttle cable, double throttle cable, some swivel,, you'll have to look around. These clamps hold the cable away from the frame instead of hugging and if you hunt around they have different stand off lengths.
FWIW, I too used Magnum cables, but I measured and bought individual cables instead of the kit.
I never cared for those cheap "clips" HD uses for the clutch cable,, nor do I like they way they run the clutch cable under the frame in front.
You can pull out another couple inches of the clutch along the frame if you reroute,, you'll need 3 of the clamps I linked to.
From the CLUTCH RELEASE COVER run the cable forward all the way to the front right down tube,, sneak it between the frame and front exhaust pipe,, pull some slack, put a clamp there,, then cross the frame in front of the voltage regulator, pull some slack,, then up the left side frame and use two more clamps,, you can actually spread out and twist the cable clamps a bit on the frame on each side of the cable adjuster,,
Just ideas,, double check the size before ya buy,, I forget if the frame is 1 1/4 or 1 1/2,,
