+6 on the cables (they are a tad long with my Gimps - but they aren't a true 16" like your Cycle Smiths will be, so +6 should be about perfect). You'll want to measure for the brake line - use a cloth/clothing tape measure so you can mimic where you'll be routing it.

Welcome to the club, you will love them. I would wait until you mock them up and then order cables so the lengths are right, I made three trips to the dealership to get my lengths perfect, you will be happier in the long run. Hollar if I can help in any way.

Good advice! Can't argue with that.
